Crafty mash up

I was set a crafty challenge by a girl at work a couple of months ago.
She was heading to a wedding and wanted to commission me to make a card...... the theme was to be Scottish meets Irish...... new challenge on me! lol
No as everyone knows, I do love a challenge, so I got my thinking cap on and this is what I came up with..


Their invitation had a thistle with a shamrock on it..... so I just recreated it (with a twist and Nikki style)...
I've been told that they loved the card - it's always nice to know that the person who ends up with the card enjoys it....
This weekend I am creating some samples that could well be making it to a garden centre near you! I'll take loads of pics and do a blog post when I can...... There are 200 samples to make in the weekend with everything from cards to bunting and children's crafts..... Better get back to it...

Hope you have a great weekend, whatever you are doing.

Happy crafting

  8. Lovely card Nikki, not that I expect anything different from you my friend. Going to make a couple of cards myself, I know, shocking, don't you dare fall off your chair, I'm too far away at the moment to be able to hel.
