I have been selling cards at our Saturday craft market but have discovered that the demand here is for a very simple card and that girly or animal images are considered 'childrens "cards so i have been making specifically for the market and the cards have just not fitted any of the challenge criteria .
However an early birthday present from my sister in Amsterdam inspired me to make a card for fun .
The lovely gift caused me some grief as customs wanted to charge me R800 for it even though it was clearly marked gift.....can you imagine standing in the GPO and your birthday gift is in front of you and you cant have it unless you pay for it !?
Well a letter of appeal and a 4 week delay and I had it still in time for my birthday ....which in case anyone is still reading is on the 15 th of NOVEMBER .
I am entering it in the colour splash at the Playdate cafe -black , white and a splash of orange as well as :
Make it Monday 62 -Anything goes
Allsorts Challenge blog -black and white plus one
Crafty Ann's Challenge 53 -Floral Frenzy .
All of these blogs are well worth a visit for ideas and inspiration.
So let me know what you think of my card wont you?
