Good morning all.
Well my little girl is 16 today, I can't believe it...don't know how it happened this quickly!! Unfortunately she's still a tomboy...no interest in clothes, make up, jewellery or hairstyles...so incredibly difficult to buy for...and make cards for!
This is the card I made her, fairly unfussy and not too girly!
The image is one I won recently from Lacy Sunshine, coloured with promarkers. Banner die from Joanna Sheen, all other dies from Spellbinders. Embossing folder from Die'sire, a freebie during Crafter's Companion's birthday week. The narrow silk ribbons are from Crafty Ribbons and tied using a fork. In retrospect I wish I'd used a green mat under the purple one but hey ho Lora won't notice!!
Love this new fancy square die set I bought recently, think it will be getting used a lot.
She's off to the pictures later with a friend (and her Dad) for her birthday treat so I should get a peaceful few hours.
