A Sticky Situation....

"how's about a dare where you can't use any adhesives at all...
You have to put them away...
No tape, no gluesticks, no Xyron, no modpodge.... and all other sticky things....
the only things you can use are things like staples, stitching, brads, eyelets, pins.... that sort of thing to attach all the bits to your card."


This little extra was certainly a challenge!

I went for something very simple and quick in the end and I quite like the end result. I used a large flower die that I have had forever (only used a couple of times!), a cuttlebug die cut and attached these with a button. The stem is just eyelets.(wouldn't recommend doing this without a silent setter or crop a dile!) Finished off with doodlebug rub ons.

I made the next card yesterday.
It is for my Darling Dad, and it took quite a bit longer to make. I hand cut the pocket( I think you can get a die for this,must have a look on the interweb), and then hand stitched the details, finishing with a couple of brads. My Dad has been really ill since he had a stroke earlier this year, and his health is still deteriorating so he is in my thoughts all the time. I don't get to see him that often as he lives a long way away, but I will definitely be delivering this card by hand.
