Welcome
I made this set of cards as a birthday gift earlier in March.
I had to keep it simple as I still had my arm in a sling at that point.
It is a CASE from a card set I saw online, but I cannot remember where, to give credit.
I started by stamping the floral spray from Newton's Nook onto various snippets of white card in Momento London Fog ink, then placing the images onto my Waffle Flower sticky mat to hold it in place, (remembering I was one handed) then coloured it with my Polychromo pencils.
The images were cut with the matching die, and layered over snippets of patterned paper.
I had thought to stencil the background, but that was out of the question at the time.
The edges of the paper, the card, and the sentiment were all inked with a matching ink
I used four different sentiments, the 'blue' sentiment came with the floral set, and says 'Thanks a bunch'
I then took a tiny floret from the set and added some stamping inside in the same ink used on the outside of each card
And repeated that on the envelopes also.
I used the same wee stamp on the tag that I attached to the wrapped gift.
I am linking this to:
(Snippets of white used for the florets stamping, snippets of paper for the backgrounds)

A lovely colourful collection of floral cards using your snippets. Cannot begin to imagine how difficult it was to make them one handed. Hope you are making a good recovery.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. We have an Easter egg hunt in full swing! Xxx

Lovely floral set of cards, Maxine. Thank you for sharing with Word Art Wednesday this week! Take care!
These are pretty - nice, clean design and soft colours. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
A great collection Maxine, well done on achieving them when your arm is out of action
Amazing designs, love this layout and the papers/flowers you used!
Gosh I love these Maxine. I think that you with one arm in a sling - does a much better job than I ever could with TWO hands!!! Just love the flowers on them. Happy Easter to you Maxine x0x
What a wonderful set of cards, Maxine. Your creative side is in full swing this week and I'm beyond grateful to have you share your art with us at Word Art Wednesday. God bless you, my friend.
Stunning set of cards Maxine, well done, I've been one handed but it was my right arm in plaster 8 weeks and so many things are difficult.
I struggle when all four limbs are OK.. which aren't at mo, I've a lower right leg shin graft and bed rest is order of day, two months, so lots of reading (yay).
At least so far 🙏🙏🙏 graft is good but is a big one on bad skin from steroids.
Think it's simplicity and tasteful colours that make it especially beautiful gift.
Praying for you in healing thank you for your comments esp on Wonderful Words blog on Friday so quickly you really encouraged me.
Prayer hugs,
Shaz in Oz.x ❤️🙏
What a delightful set Maxine. You did extremely well with just one hand. The flowers looks stunning. Hope the hand is healing well and you are back crafting two handed soon
WoW! A terrific job with one arm in a sling!!
GORgeous colours and design.

Take care x

Maxine, even though you didn't get to do everything you wanted to do because of your arm still recovering, your cards are quite lovely in their simplicity. Such a beautiful variety of colors and I'm going to CAS your design. Such a great way to use left over "snippets" of paper. Smiles and hugs, Kathy
OH! Maxine, what a wonderful and beautiful set of cards. The sentiment and colours making them all so different. I hope you are feeling better, and your arm is behaving itself? x
Beautiful set of cards!

Why have I never thought to use my sticky mat when colouring tiny things in! Thanks for the tip.
This is a lovely set of cards and will be very useful for the recipient. Hats off to you doing them whilst you were one handed too.
