A birthday card

Good afternoon everyone - I hope you are all well.

Today I have a photo for you of one of the first birthday cards I have made this new year;


This card was for a friend who celebrated her birthday on New Years Day.  The poppies were actually a slightly darker red than they appear here.  (Perhaps if I had taken the photo with my new camera it may have looked better!)

I used the dot pattern embossing folder on the base card & rounded the lower corners. The image was stamped in archival black ink & then painted with my pearlescent paints. Finally I tore the card around the design & aged the edges with Distress Ink & mounted it on the embossed card, followed by the Happy Birthday banner.

Tomorrow I am going to start photographing the handmade Christmas cards that we received & will show those to you soon.  But on the blog tomorrow -  I have another birthday card to show you.

During the rest of this afternoon I am drawing up your clubs programme plan for 2016.

That's me for today - 'bye fr 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 the way forward sorted.  C
