I haven't got a Christmas card today, thought I would post a Birthday card for a change!
This is a card I made a while ago using a gorgeous image that I won from Teresa at My Crafty Heart - thank you so much Teresa! I cannot recommend her shop highly enough - really prompt service!! I think the papers are First Edition. I have used Spellbinders to cut and mat the image, which was coloured with Copics. I dyed some seam binding with Distress Ink and added a lovely flat backed pearl and spacer which came from the Ribbon Girl (I coloured the pearl with Copics first). The bird cage is a Spellbinders die and the flowers were a Tonic punch. The leaf was made with a Marianne die. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. Again, I have followed a sketch - this time the one from Sunday Sketch and Stamp.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop - Die Cuts/Punches
Joanna Sheen - Anything Goes Excluding Christmas
Pile it On - Anything But a Christmas Card
Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Sketch
Sweet Stampin' - Flowers
If you pop over to:
The Ribbon Girl have a fabulous give away:
Bag of ten 13mm rusty jingly bells
1 metre 70mm soft hessian mesh
1 metre of 50mm soft hessian mesh
1 metre of 25mm natural cotton twill tape
1 metre of 10mm red square check rustic ribbon
1 metre of brown tea dyed cotton ribbon
1 ten metre bundle of natural button twine
1 piece of cheesecloth fabric
1 piece of cheesecloth fabric
all you have to do is leave a comment!
That's it for me for today. I think I will do a bit of on line Christmas shopping and some crafting - nice relaxing day hopefully! Thanks for looking and take care xx
