Happy Birthday

Good morning all.

A lazy day was had yesterday although I did change the bed and do three loads of washing! The weather isn't looking too good this week so a good excuse to craft.

A birthday card to share today, made for my Uncle who turns 87 this week.


Using my favourite die from Wplus9, cut from a snippet of white card lying on my desk and mounted to the base with foam. Stamps are all from STAMPlorations (Vignette: Celebrate Artsy and Holiday Artsy), stamped with various distress inks and black archival. Sentiment from Wild Rose Studio stamped and heat embossed with white EP. A few sequins to finish.

Challenges entered:
Less is More - use snippets
Wishing Chrissie a very happy 70th birthday!

  3. Hi Carol I love your rectangle die too, I would think you'll get loads of use with it. Great splash of colour on this card too.
    I've just got some special watercolour paper so hoping to have a play with a splash of colour later too.
    Have a super Monday, hugs Erika. x
