40th Birthday Card


Well today I was shopping for new vaccum cleaner as the one I had was really screaming and needed a new motor and a few other bits. It was years old so it was time I got a new one. Then hubby and I had lunch at Dobbies Garden Centre as I just had to look in at their craft area to see if they had any new crafty items.  I refrained today as "he who must be obeyed" was with me, it is better not to let him see how much I spend on crafty items;

This was a card I made for my niece's 40th birthday, she loves pink.

I used

8 x 8 card blank
Spellbinders :
Fleur De Lis Rectangles
Persian Motifs
Picot Edge Circles

Some peel offs, embelishments, pearls and gems from my ever growing "I need that" box.

She was delighted with it and I liked it as it was so simple to put together.  She lives in Spain and will be visiting as soon as her grandson is born, 10 days and counting, and has requested 20 Christmas cards to take back with her so I better get my finger out.

Feel free to comment as I love to hear what other crafter think of my cards.
