Happy Love Day Owl Card

Hello!

Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my last cards! I lack confidence in my cards a lot, especially as there are so many amazing and professional Cardmakers on here! It's easy to feel a bit out of my depth! 

I really wasn't sure on my last card and nearly didn't blog it!

I try to remind myself of how well I do considering how severely ill I am and the conditions I work under! I don't think people realise quite how poorly I am and how much I suffer and struggle with the tinyest tasks each day so should be pretty proud with what I've achieved on here in the last 8 months!

Anyway sorry for rambling on! Lol


This card I've made to give my mum on Valentine's day :-)




I asked her what she likes on Valentine's cards and she text back a one word answer - "owls" lol


I used:

Owl stamp - mag freebie
Promarkers
Fancy pants love story paper and sentiment
Spot paper behind the owl is LOTV
Hobbycraft ric rac and heart punch




I keep finding little red hearts everywhere now lol!

Hope you're having a nice weekend! 

Lucy x

    This is gorgeous Lucy, the owl is adorable. I love the papers and fabulous layout.
    Try not to be so hard on yourself. I think your cards are just as beautiful as any others I have seen, it's clear to see how much thought and love you put into making them.
    Take care, Sue xx

    Hi Sweet Lucy!

    We ALL feel the same chick and are always hard on ourselves. Those who aren't like that frankly have their heads up their bums! Can I say that on a blog? Ooops, I just did I guess?!?!

    Your card is just adorable, and owls are a fave of mine too - your Mum has good taste :) You see, some of us aren't as clever as you - for instance, the ric rac is such a great division point and also the hearts flowing down across your darling owl. It takes skill to think of those details so don't EVER be belittling yourself. Otherwise Nanny McDi might just have to come and sort you out :))

    Hugs

    Di xx

    A really beautiful card Lucy, love your colours as well as the beautiful image. Don't ever underestimate how beautiful your creations are. I love them and I know your followers love them....hey I have one on my blog now and thinking of taking it off, it is a hard challenge on kraft and I don't like it, so see we all are critical of our own work.....xxxx ...

    This is beautiful. I love the little owl and love the papers and colours. Absolutely love the trailing hearts :-) Your cards are always beautiful and are as good as any on any other blog - you have a great talent and your blog is always lovely to visit. You are way too hard on yourself! I really do understand how you feel - I'm in a similar situation but you're doing a great job! Your Mum will love the card :-) Someone once told me to treat myself like I would my best friend - you'd never be that hard on your best friend!! Sending you the biggest hug. Jayne xx

    This is so adorable. You do realize that we all feel that way right? Okay, maybe a few are super confident in their designs, but most of us second guess ourselves. As soon as that passes, you get to the point where you don't really care and wanna just share this really great thing you did. lol.

    Your cards are always fab, Lucy. You should be so proud of everything you've achieved - but I know how you feel. There are a lot of great card makers - but you're up there with them - I always love your cards - and this one is no exception. Keep up the fantastic work.
