Thanks card with mini tag

Hi, there!
Yesterday, it was over 30C (90F) here, but windy day. So it was kind of comfortable to do everything. Because, the day before yesterday was really aweful... We had 34C (about 94F), and I could hear the ambulance sirens many times. (I'm one of the person hit by the heat and taken to the hospital in this June. Haha)
In these days, I hear about the aweful weathers all over the world from my friends. Please take care of yourself, everyone!

Well, I'll start with introducing my cards to join the Hero Arts 'website' challenge this week (July 13th - 19th). I've noticed, "Recently I'm attracted by standard card design". So I tried to make it.

By the way, the HA web site was just renewed! WooHoo~, that's wonderful!!!
Haven't go there yet? Check it out from here!

昨日は気温は30度でしたが、風強く、乾燥していたので、比較的快適に過ごせました。えっ?30度で快適?との声が聞こえて来そうですが・・・、一昨日は34度もあり、本当に気分が悪く・・。
ここ数日、海外の友人から、猛暑(熱波)や、南半球では異常に寒いという話をよく聞くのですが、皆さん、気をつけてくださいね♪

最近、スタンダードデザインのカードに妙に惹かれている自分自身に気づき、そのラインで1枚カードを作ってみました。

そうそう!ヒーローアーツ社のウェブサイトが、数時間前にリニューアルされました。
以前よりも幅広のサイトとなり、見やすくなっていると思います。まだ見られていない方は、是非! http://www.heroarts.com/
(ちなみに私は、個人的な好みでヒーロー製品を多く使っていますが、他にも長くファンであるメーカーさんもあり、HAのまわし者ではありませんヨ・・・笑)

This is the card, 'Thanks card with mini tag'
I was inspired by the following card: Floral Cards By Sally Traidman.
The Dots and Flowers was stamped with 2 shadow inks, and then overstamped Thank you Bold Messages stamp with Vintage Sepia.
I used 3 Prima paper flowers embossed with clear powder after sprayed with mica mist.
I'm going to pack this with the gift and ship it to one of my needlework friends in a few days.

  2. Beautiful card Tomo. Glad the wind keep your day a bit more comfortable. We are in middle of winter and it's only 15C - luckily even in summer we only get round 24-26C most days.
