a recent card

Good afternoon everyone - another lovely weekend.

This afternoon  have my most recently made card to show you.  I haven't found it easy in this hot weather to craft - but it was essential to make this one as it was for a family member.  The wife of Bob's cousin turned 70.

This beautiful design is by Toni Darroch of "Stamps by me"  - you will have seen her at Happy Stampers Festival recently, but I found her on Create & Craft.

The design is one of her A5 stamp sets with matching die.  I put of buying one for a while but in the end couldn't resist it (as you do).  Now I have to get another one, at least.

In case you haven't seen them - the main stamp image is about A5 size then after stamping you lay the die over the top & cut it out.  It leaves about a mm border around the flowers plus the full outside border.  I coloured it with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.  The "Happy Birthday" is one of mine from another set - but it was just the right size to go along the bottom of the card.

I decided not to spoil the design with a "70" on the front, so put that on the inside with my sentiment.

Very happy with this stamp & die set.

Have a great weekend.

'Bye for now.
