Welcome
It's good to be back - albeit slowly...
I never did find my other memory stick, which I have used since the move, so I invested in another one and down loaded some shots today...
This was made as a commissioned card, and it was one of a bundle that I made. Some were recycled card fronts altered and remounted to freshen them up, one even used an offcut of a commercial card that I liked... I did the big batch, using these shortcuts, as I was anticipating my left arm being 'out of action' for the first part of February - but that (surgery) has now been delayed until March
Enough about me - here is the card..
The feature panel is the 'waste' from another card, that I cannot see that I blogged, so it is likely on the missing memory stick ... the panel was made using patterned washi tape, and the branch cut from it
The washi is part of a co-ordinating set I was gifted at Christmas
The sentiment was stamped, gold embossed and then mounted over a snippet of gold card
The panels were mounted over an embossed background that I had 'coloured' using the direct to paper technique and Golden Glitz ink. I finished the front with some champagne half pearls.
I finished the inside with some of the washi tape.
I am linking this to:
I love to garden (the leaf panel) and also recycle when I can
I love pearls, they were one of my first embellishments when I started stamping, and I have always had a soft spot for them - I simply love pearls - unfortunately they don't come in as many colour ways now

Maxine, the greenery on this lovely card is perfect.
Praying Maxine you're able to have a successful op in God's time and His blessing in interim. Beautiful use of the washi very clever. Praying if His will your memory stick turns up too.
Prayer hugs.

This turned out beautifully. Love your use of washi tape and that dark green. So sorry that memory stick hasn't turned up and how frustrating that your surgery has been postponed too. All very frustrating for you xx
I'm sorry to hear your surgery has been delayed - always a bit frustrating when you prepare yourself for something and then it doesn't happen. Hopefully March will be okay - and I often feel our Lord makes the right time for things to happen anyway :) xx
Beautiful card Maxine, love your negative cut out from the washi tapes, such great effect!
Amazing and what a gorgeous card this is with this lovely design and colours ♥
Another wonderful card Maxine. Love the different shades of green - one of my favourite colours. I hope they don't push your surgery back any further. xx
Pretty card!

This is a wonderful remake Maxine, and your washi set is fabulous. CarolG
What a wonderful mix of patterns and colors! Thanks so much for joining us at As You Like It Challenge! Wishing you well on your surgery and recovery.
OH! What a gorgeous and clever card Maxine, a great result. Sorry to hear about your memory stick and your delayed surgery, perhaps they'll send for you earlier if they have a cancellation? I hope so for your sake. xx
Lovely card. Thank you for joining the challenge at My Time To Craft . Hope to see you again.
So sorry your surgery has been delayed. Roll on March for you. Will be thinking of you nearer the time and praying for your quick return and for the surgeons hands to be blessed whilst operating
Such a lovely card in so many shades of green, the embossing on the back piece is beautiful and i do like how you used your washi tape.
Blessings, Neet xx
Maxine love how you used the washi tape and then used the piece that was left on this card. You are so adept at using "it" all! I love that. Also I will be praying (written down in my journal) for your arm surgery to be successful so keep us posted. Hugs to you my friend! Kathy
