Wow, I can't believe the last time I posted here was 3 weeks ago! In case you're wondering what's happened - I've been away on business. Part of the time I had to stay in a 4* Spa Hotel, the Grosvenor Pulford, just outside of Chester. It's a hard life but someone's got to do it!
Anyway the upshot of it all is that I haven't had much time to blog or make cards. By the time I've got in at night I've been exhausted. So to get back into the routine again I thought I'd share another of Linda's cards with you.
This handmade card has been made using the same rubber stamped image as in the previous card.
It really is a beautiful card without being over fussy or complicated. I particularly like the way Linda has used the Martha Stewart punch to create the ribbon border.
Hopefully I'll be getting my own card making back into full swing, especially as I've pledged to make 10 cards for a Promise Auction which is being held in July to help raise funds for our team's next mission trip to Uganda. These will not be "£1 specials" but more elaborate so I'll have to get those creative juices flowing again!

If you have read the "About Us" page on Cardmaking-Companion you will already know that I make cards which I sell 
to help support a children's village in Uganda.
I sell the cards, as part of a team, once a month, at Longton Community Church.
The type of cards which always fly off the stand are the ones with words of encouragement on them, especially when they quote a bible text.
Whilst these cards may not be the most difficult cards to make they are certainly the most appreciated by both those who buy them, and by those who receive them.
This photograph shows some of the latest batch I have made. The card blanks are in a range of pastel shades and have a foiled design on them.
The message has been rubber stamped in black VersaFine ink onto white card, matt and layered onto plain card in a complimentary colour to the card blank.
Most of the cards have no card making embellishments on them, only an occasional jewel as a flower centre.
We as card makers can get carried away with making elaborate creations but sometimes all that someone needs is a simple message of encouragement to help them get through the troubles they are facing.
I leave you with this one thought - could some one you know benefit from a card like this at the moment?
