Anniversary Wishes

Good Afternoon,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Firstly I wold like to welcome Denise, who is my latest follower  and

I hope you enjoy your visits.

Secondly, Apologies for no post yesterday, the day just seemed to run away

with me. Tried to get things sorted but just doing one card seemed to take

me forever. Thursday as you know is visiting day for Mary so I am

always pressed for time, must get more organised  (says she).

Anyway today I am showing you a card for my friend and  neighbour who

celebrated their anniversary a couple of weeks ago and now I thing its

ok for me to share.

DETAILS

1. White  8 x 8 card that I embossed and added black Cosmic

Shimmer Glossy PVA to create the pearls.

2. Next layer was black card, then using one of the new

Tonic Dies I cut the frame out of white pearlescent 

card and adhered it to the black frame.

3. Using back card stock I cut the flourishes and flower

and placed them down the side.

To complete I added black ribbon and secured the ends with

small dazzlers. I then created  a box and also decorated

it with black Tonic large corners, flourishes and 

flowers. (picture below)

I am not being morbid using black and white but these

are the colours that my friend loves.

Well I hope you all have a pleasant evening, off to do the

 blog rounds and catch up on some DT work.

Hope you will call back tomorrow as I will be showing

my DT work for Creative Craft Cottage.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

my Kanban kit. Before adhering it to the card I wrapped a

red ribbon around.

2. The heart was cut using a Tonic die and I used Hunky-dory

fancy card stock.

3. The sentiment was cut twice in red and card that matched

the backing paper. I then off set them to give the shadow

effect.

Tattered Lace dies.

are available Here and I took it into a graphics programme
and added a background before printing off.  Once
printed I again scored around the edges to give the

wings and headdress .

Birthday Girl

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Not a nice day her, very windy and looks like we might be heading for a

downpour. 

Way hey I know have 74 followers and would like to welcome you all and I hope

I can keep you entertained and maybe just maybe give you a little inspiration.

Mum had a lovely day yesterday  on her birthday and really enjoyed her

little trip to town.  She managed to find something that she wanted

that I could buy her ( a dress and little cardigan jacket). She treated

herself to some tops and a jumper.  We went for a cuppa and slice of 

cake before bringing her back to ours for tea and a surprise  birthday

cake.  On the whole she really did enjoy herself and at the end of 

the day that's what its all about making someone feel  extra special on

their special day.

Thank you all for your good wishes to mum and I would like to share

with you the birthday  card that I made for her. 

DETAILS

1. Card is 8 x8 and I have matted it using paper from

the Craftwork Cards Cottage4 Garden Collection

Paper Pad.

2. Using Hunky-dory patterned card I die cut the

birds with Tattered Lace die Oriental Blue Bird, the

centre frame is from Marianne (sorry do not know the

name) and I have cut two, then cut one in half to

add to the sides to elongate the frame. 

           3. The sentiment MUM is a Tonic die and the Happy Birthday

are Robert Addams and these were cut out of lilac

card stock.

4. The flowers are all from my stash and to

complete I added a satin bow topped with

a dazzler. Pink gems were added to finish.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you

will call back tomorrow when I will be showing
