A Birthday Card

Good Morning

Today I would like to share with you a card made for a very good friend of mine.

This card is so far removed from my normal style, but I really enjoyed the process of making it.

The papers are from Marion Smith.

Th card is a 6x6" car base.

The papers were cut at 5.5", 5" and 4.5". 

Out of the middle blue layer I cut the mat for the topper.

All the layers were inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink.

The topper is a Lili of the Valley Image.

They were then distressed using a distressing tool, (however this can be done with scissors).

The border strip is the same paper as the largest layer. 

I wrapped this with pale pink ribbon, 

Over this wrapped some scalloped lace.

The sentiment was printed on the PC.

A Hobby House angel dangling from a white ribbon bow.

Three pink pearls were added in the top right and bottom left hand corner of the topper.

I would like to enter this card into the Craft Barn 'C' challenge. (shabby Chic).

Also for the Crafty Sentiments Anything Goes challenge.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I appreciate all comments you may have on my creations.
