Another birthday card

Not only did I make one card yesterday, but this one too.
I had watched some of Craft Day on QVC and was inspired
by the Hero Arts lady (Sherree?)
I'm afraid I borrowed her inspiration for this card.
I used a background stamp I haven't used for ages on
some thin card, stuck it to the front of the card, inked a strip of paper to form the strip across and stamped the happy birthday on a thinner piece of white card.
Added the flourish and the flower, which was initially a brownish colour so rubbed the ink pad over and rubbed over a bit of stickles glitter.

Bird Birthday Card

I've been poorly with this rather nasty tummy bug doing the rounds, but felt a bit better yesterday so sat quietly and did some crafting, more from necessity than anything as I have to get a card in the post TODAY! (Can't believe I've remembered to scan the card before I send it, I keep forgetting to do that!!)

I used distress inks to blend the background of this, added some swirls and the bird.....I 'decoupaged' the body and one wing of the bird and made the flowers adding a black circle and some glossy accents to the centre of them.

Feel quite pleased with this one.

Paper Flowers

I really loved my friend Hels article in the Craft Stamper this month and decided to have a play.

I didn't have grungeboard nor the stamp for the flowers, so made them by drawing the flower shape by hand and used card....not quite so good but at least I learnt how to make the flowers!!!!

I have scanned this so the picture so it's not a very good image.
