A birthday card
Good evening everyone - well at last the creative juices are beginning to flow, well - trickle. So today I have photos for you of the 40th birthday card I have made;
I used a 6x6 square card & embossed a frame around the edge of the front. I then stamped the flower & leaves image & coloured it in. To do the colouring I looked out my water colour crayons. These were a present from my friend Veronica some 10, possibly 15 years ago. Could have been longer. They just go on giving - they are Caron D'ache. I love the look of watercolour. I then stamped this rather nice greeting, which I thought for a change I would put on the outside. The verse & the "happy birthday" are all one stamp. (I threw the packaging away so can't remember whose stamps they are).
On the inside I layered some lilac / purple card after embossing it with the same frame as the front & then added the happy birthday die cut.
A nice clean & crisp card. Very pleased with it.
It is now winging its way across to the USA.
On my desk it the start of a couplle more cards - so perhaps some more photos tomorrow.
'Bye for now.
