a birthday card

Hi everyone - what dreadful weather today!  I hope it is going to better tomorrow for Port Sunlight.

Before I show you one of my recent birthday cards I have made - can I just point the CSNW ladies to the post about their meeting Project - the Diorama card - Carolyn has left you a comment.

So, now to my card


I was looking for a CAS design & had been inspired by something I saw on the Internet -as you do if you keep an eye on things -- & was quite taken with a design similar to this one.

I used a square scalloped Kraft card & masked off the central diagonal stripe.  I then stamped in embossing ink the rose design & heat embossed with white EP.  Then using my Versamark pen - which I have to admit I don't often remember to use - I drew the 2 straight lines & embossed those with white EP, finally adding the "Happy Birthday" greeting in the same way.  Two little gems added at each end pf the greeting to add some sparkle to the card.

If you are going to Port Sunlight tomorrow - have fun - don't spend too much & later tell me about your purchases. I will try & walk around as if I am awake & hope to see many of you there.

'Bye for now.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have th...
