Happy Birthday...

Well today is Lesley's birthday and this is the card I made for her...

 

I stamped the background with the swirl stamp from my baroque motif Stampin' Up! stamp set using perfect plum ink onto an 8x8 inch pearlescent card blank. Using two strips of perfect plum designer series papers I punched one edge with a scallop border punch, then scored between each scallop and folded concertina style and then joined the ends together, using a hot glue gun I fixed the rosette onto a circle of scrap card and then mounted this onto my stamped base card. I cut a circle of whisper white and stuck this over the centre of the rosette. I cut two butterflies using my gorgeous new nesty set, one in perfect plum and the other in vellum and layered these on top of the rosette and added plum pearls down the body and randomly around the swirls on the base and there you have it.

What do you think...? I was rather pleased with the over all effect and I'm sure I will make a similar one in the future.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Lesley I hope you had a lovely day.

Happy Birthday Danielle

Well today is my daughter's 16th birthday, and where has the time gone? 

Like myself she adores gorjuss girls, so a card for her had to have one, and here it is...

The card base is elegant eggplant, layered with perfect plum, then perfect plum designer paper and pieces of perfect plum embossed for texture. The numbers were blank stamps and I stamped the design over the top. The main image was stamped with momento and coloured with promarkers, I am really happy with how this turned out, I have been practising colouring with promarkers to get this kind of blended effect.
Danielle loved it, she knew I would of made it but thought the image was printed so that is a real compliment for me.
Anyway, happy birthday my special young lady, Mum x
