Happy Birthday

Good morning all.

I'm off grocery shopping today...the cupboards are bare, I don't know where it all goes to!!



I had to make some quick birthday cards last week so upcycled some earlier one layer cards which I wasn't happy with.
I do like one layer cards but I like them more with layers! Stamp is from La Blanche. Ribbon and gems are from my stash.


Challenges entered:
Great Impressions - square card
Pile it On - no designer papers
Brown Sugar - green, blue and white
Paper Shelter - ribbon

  7. Stunning Carol! Lovely use of colour too, you're not the only one I try to make OLC/CAS cards but they never look quite right to me lol! I regularly end up chopping them up and making a layered card - much more in my comfort zone lol! Hope you shopping trip is a good one Karen x

  10. A beautiful card Carol, I love the wonderful simplicity of it.
    Had to do the same as you, the boys were here a fair bit over the weekend so our cupboards were rather bare as well.
    Happy crafting
