Happy Birthday

Hello there my crafty friends!  This one is an older creation, but I thought it was quite pretty!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and embossed it with the Field Of Flowers embossing folder for texture.  I used the Frosty Sparkle Glitter Kiss over the embossed background to add a subtle sparkle to it (you can really see it in the close up pics).  Next I cut the Abigail die out of Sky Blue card.  I added a white backing to it and attached it to the upper part of the card.  Next I cut a white Pierced Flag die and added the Happy Birthday sentiment to it cut out of Sky Blue card.  I used the Petal Pocket Flower die and made three flowers.  I added the centres out of sky blue to tone in with the card.  I arranged two of the flowers around the end of the flag die and the other one in the opposite corner of the Abigail die.  I used both leaves from the Petal Pocket die set and Fern Fronds cut in white as accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white and sky blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hello Sue and all
A lovely card with one of the semi forgotten dies - I have Abigail, now I need to take her out for a play as this is just gorgeous, as usual the background stands out with the embossing folder and bling, Always like flags with flowers holding them in place, a true Sue Wilson touch
Hugs

Good Morning Sue. Absolutely gorgeous card... And... I don't care how old it is... This is right up my street. The colour combination... The lacyness of it... If there is such a word. It's beautiful. Thankyou Sue.
We.... my Sister, her gorgeous daughters and myself... are out celebrating today... my sister's good news that she is clear of breast cancer. We have a spa day, with afternoon tea, shopping at junction 32 then on to Nando's for a lovely meal. I am so happy for them all.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
