Another Birthday


I made this card for a colleague who is mad about gardening. The A5 card I coloured with a DI "Crushed Olive", distressed the edges of two pieces of Graphic 45 paper and edged with Peeled Paint.The 2 labels layered on top of one another are Nestabilities Labels one. The image is a Terri Sproul from Stampotique Originals which I coloured with my Copic Markers (from the Craft Den). The sentiment is another Terri Sproul I stamped on to cream card and edged with DI Peeled Paint and layered on to a piece of Graphic 45 which I punched using one of my MS punches. The flower is a Prima. I placed a layer of brown mesh (from Craft Den) across the whole of the card and under the labels together with a punched yellow card for a ribbon effect. I must find a way of condensing these descriptive posts, I seem to go on and on.

  1. Wow Pat, I just love this. The colours are so apt for a gardener and the stamp is fabulous. How many Stampotique stamps have you now got, I just love them all. I bet your friend was thrilled to bits with all the thought and work that has gone into this beautiful card.
