Birthday Card

By
One of the ladies of my craft club had a 'special' birthday last week and this is the card I made for her


I have combined Everything Eleanor with French Foliage for this one and used Pretty in Pink, Certain Celery and Wild Wasabi inks.
The numbers are peel offs (which I don't normally use) and they were silver 'til I coloured them with a pink Promarker.

Hope everyone is in the mood for a good weekend - I myself am holding my husband hostage until he has cleaned out the porch - we were all set to do it last weekend but he had to work instead. Next on the agenda - make himself an office. At the moment he uses the kitchen - most inconvenient when he's in an on-line meeting with Japan - 'konichiwa'!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Something scary just happened while I was writing a comment and the screen just went to the very bottom of your blog. Bizarre. I don't think it posted my comment so...

    EE is the most beautiful stamp set ever, I think, and these colours are so pretty. Good luck with the hostage holding!

    This is an absolute stunner Jacqueline and the flowers look just gorgeous in pink.
    Hope your hubby does his duty too.
    Have a lovely weekend.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    Well Jacqueline ...... there's nothing for it but to get this stamp set! It's really the only one I don't have yet and I keep seeing these gorgeous cards being made with it. Where's my purse...... seriously this is a gorgeous card and I'm sure your crafty friend absolutely adored it.

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
