I needed a bithday card in a hurry....

Mum helpfully informed me this morning (the day AFTER I'd been to the shops) that it's my Uncle's birthday in a couple of days - and of course, I didn't have a suitable card.

So, out came the craft bits and pieces and I quickly made one. Not very manly, granted, but I'm still pleased with how it turned out since it was such a rush job.

Oh wow - I think that looks really great! Much better than my attempts at homemade cards usually turn out (mine always end up looking like a 5 year old made them :P). It looks really nice though - I'm sure your uncle will love it. :)

Thank you! I really hope so... There are a few glue smudges (the stuff gets everywhere), which there might not have been if I hadn't been trying to do everything so fast, but I'm still pleased with it, especially that I managed to find colours that more or less matched. I'm still a novice cardmaker when I don't have a cross stich picture as the centrepiece, but I'm learning.
