Good Luck card made with odds and ends...

Hello! It's been a while since my last post, as we've been busy moving house...exhausting and time consuming, even though it was only 2 miles up the road!

A friend of mine is moving back to her home country (Indonesia) soon, so I made a "Good Luck" card that I hope she'll like:

 

Ta daa! For the card I used a wide selection of bits and bobs, including some buttons from my vast vintage button collection, and this gorgeous stamp from the American Crafts Dear Lizzy collection:

 

Anyway, these are the materials I started with at the beginning of my crafty day:

 

I started by stamping "good luck", and using clear embossing powder to give it a little something extra:

I did the same thing with the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection jar stamp:

Onto the blank card, I arranged some old wrapping paper that I found in my stash - it was too lovely to throw away! I also mounted the stamped words and jar from earlier onto pink pearlescent card, and added a think mink-coloured ribbon to the edge:

Finally, I "filled" the jar with buttons from my collection, as well as little self-adhesive crystals:

And voila! A good luck card for my friend to see her off.
