another recent card

Good morning everyone.

This morning I have another one of my recently made cards for you to see.  This time it is a stamped card.

As you can see this card is for our grand-daughter who has a birthday this week.  This little piece of stamping has been waiting around for some time waiting to be finished & used.

You may remember quite a long time ago we had a project where you stamped 2 pieces of A5 card with an all over random pattern using many different stamps both in images & styles, just in black ink.  Then the next stage was to randomly colour the pieces of card.

Of my 2 pieces, one was partially coloured & waiting to be finished & used, the other was still black & white.  So I finished colouring this piece to use on her card, including adding some extra colour to some of the images with toning coloured pencils.  I used a 6x6 white scalloped edge card, trimmed the patterned piece & rounded the 2 right hand corners then layered that onto a piece of black card leaving a lightly wider board to the right.  This was then layered onto the white card with the layers being placed closer to the fold edge.  

On a small piece of white card I stamped the "Happy Birthday Granddaughter" then cut it into a flag shape & distressed the edges to match the card background & layered that onto a black piece of card, shaping it as well.  I added 2 little metal butterflies that have been sitting in a box for a while waiting to be used. So they have flown the nest.  Do butterflies have nests?

The happy birthday was from Dreamees set & the grand-daughter from a Clearly Besotted set.

Tonight it is the March meeting of the Mold club.  I don't think I will be attending as I have a busy morning & that usually makes me quite tired.  Sorry ladies - will try hard for next month.

'Bye for now.
