80th Birthday

Just before Christmas my Mother-in-Law asked me to make a Birthday card for a friend of hers who is turning 80 this month.

Her friend likes Flowers and Pink so I decided to use my NitWit Annabelle Collection, it is full of pretty pink flowers.  I printed several copies of the flowers so that I could fussy cut them and layer them up using foam pads, the sentiment is from the DigiStamp Boutique, I changed the colour to match the papers and cut it out with a Hunkydory die.

Pansies and Butterflies

This is a quick card that I created using a Studio Light Die Cut collection.

It is from the Janneke Brinkman collection, there are twelve beautiful sets to make, I love the pretty colours on this one - I made mine up a little differently from the recommended design.

Pretty in Blue

This is a quick card that I created using a Studio Light Die Cut collection.

It is from the Janneke Brinkman collection, there are twelve beautiful floral cards, they are all so pretty it was difficult to choose which one to make. I added a sentiment that has been in my stash for so long I have no idea where it came from!

Floral Bobbin

I used one of the shaped cards from the Craftwork Cards Fab Fabrics collection to create this card.

I covered the shaped card base with blue dotty paper from the collection and then cut strips of floral paper, inked the edges and layered them up across the body of the bobbin.  The sentiment, scissors and other embellishments are all from the collection, I inked the edges of everything and attached them using foam pads for dimension.
