Pink Posy

Today's card is another birthday card but just to add to my 'box' - not for any special purpose...

 

I used some grey and white polka dot patterned  paper to add some interest to the background. The stem and leaves are part of a Memory Box die. I cut the original flowers off and instead used some flowers created from a set of Marianne dies. I used dull silver brads for the centre of the flowers and I also added a tiny die cut butterfly with a pearl 'body'. The greeting is hand-stamped with a stamp that came free with a magazine,

I've playing along with the challenges at:

Die Cut Divas - flowers

Watercooler Wednesday #332 - feminine

QKR Stampede #435 - AG

Dies R Us Challenge #184 - AG using a DRU brand

Fab N Funky Challenge #542 - keep it simple

Thanks for popping in!

Fancy Die-cut Floral 70th Birthday Card

Yesterday was my Mam's 70th Birthday so I can now share the card I made for her - I went for a sunny shade of yellow to brighten up a day with very dull and dreary weather...

What I used:

The fancy dies - very old set from Spellbinders

Number/circle dies - unbranded

Linen card - The Range

Pearls - The Range

Greeting - Paper Flowers font

The yellow was much brighter in daylight - it looks almost a mustard shade in the photo. My Mam loved it and it really stood out!

I'm playing along with the following challenges

613 Avenue Create - AG (January)

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #173 - AG

Unicorn Challenge #72 - lots of layers

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2202 - AG
