New card designs! Yay!

YAY!

I've been hard at work, coming up with a few new designs.  I've got a few more I'm still working on but they aren't quite ready yet.

I'm going to lead off with a card I've been working on for a few weeks.  I just couldn't seem to get past some block I had with the design, until I realised that it was the colour scheme I'd chosen.  As I'd just got some new card stock in, I went through it and found the perfect one.  From there, the rest just seemed to flow out.  I hope you like it.  It's rather a special one.

You see, a friend is trying to send her son to a specialised camp for autistic children, and it's a bit expensive, so she's asking for help.  Her Send Sam to Autism Camp at Go Fund Me is slowly inching up, but not quickly enough.  This is a summer camp and she needs the money soon.  People, I cannot stress the necessity of something like this.  Her son needs this.  She needs this.  Let's help her as much as we can.  If you never buy another card from me, please buy this one.  If you don't want to, then please give her a donation.

Here's the card.  It's simple, but I love it.  I might make a few changes to it over time, and you'll be the first ones to know if I do.




The image comes from Robert Jackson , and I am absolutely in love with his digi stamps.  You have no idea how difficult it can be to find non-stereotyped non-white characters, and he is fantastic.  One day I'm going to own all of his work.

Just a small edge of a doily, with a natural string accent.  Made on high quality 250gsm whit card, with American Crafts card matting.  You can find it in my Etsy Store , or on my Zibbet store . I'm really hoping we can raise a few pounds for Megan and Sam.


Moving on, I have another design that is going to go under the same heading, since it was inspired by this card.  Much smaller, notelet size, appx 3.5x4 inches.




You can find these lovely little cards on my Zibbet store, and on Etsy .  I hope you'll give them a look.  These come in a set of four, and will ship in their own little box, with handmade envelopes to fit them.

Well, I think that's enough for now!  I have another card, but I'll save that for it's own post in a few days.  I want this entry to stand on its own.

Have a great day, and make something, will you?
