Birthday Roses

Hello

I'm just popping by to share the birthday card I made for my Mother-in-Law's birthday.

The image is from a set of rub-ons which I bought ages ago, but as my Mother-in-Law loves her garden and flowers I thought it was perfectly fitting.

Using a ZIG Two Way Glue Pen I edged the card with glitter.  In real life it gives the card a lovely sparkling effect. Rhinestones were added around the image and in two of the corners.  The sentiment was stamped and embossed using WOW Metallic Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder.

Paper : Always and Forever Solids (LOTV)

Sentiment : Set 20 - For Her Sentiments (LOTV)

Dies : Double Scallop Doily Die (Whimsy); Heart Swirl (Magnolia Doohickey)

Embellishments : 20mm, 15mm & 10mm  Roses (Wild Orchid Crafts); Radiant Glitter (Stamps by Chloe); Lace, Velvet Ribbon, Rhinestones & Butterfly Charm (My Craft Stash)

I would like to enter the following challenges:

In the Pink : Make It Sparkle
Fab n Funky : Anything Goes
As You Like It : Favourite Shape or Standard Cardbase (I've made a few shaped cards, but my favourite and usual card base is a 6 x 6 square.  I find it is the perfect size for the images/die cuts I want to use).    

Thank you for stopping by and for you lovely comments, they are much appreciated.

Anything With Wings over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

It seems ages since I posted on my blog but these last few weeks have just flown by.  

Last week my son got his A Level results and he did extremely well and was accepted by his first choice University (Newcastle) to study Architecture.  We were so proud of him and a little relieved that things has worked out how he had hoped.  We are now getting ready to celebrate his 18th birthday on Bank Holiday Monday.  He didn't want a party so we are going out with family to a local restaurant on Monday evening then later next week he is meeting up with friends for a meal.  

Anyhow enough of my waffling as its time for a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this week we want to see Anything With Wings (eg. butterflies, fairies etc.).  For my DT card I used Mouse with Love

The image has been coloured with Copic pens.
