Birthday Celebrations

I've chosen a tall card because I think it suits this Club Kid by Kenny K Downloads so well.  If you recognise it, I've done it once before in different colours on an A4 card under the heading "Kenny K Cards for Someone Special".  I tried to link it for you because I'm good like that you know, but it linked to the top of my blog obviously not good enough, sorry 'bout that!  Scroll down and you'll see it.

Brace yourselves for another apology, this post is picture heavy! I'll keep my ramblings to a minimum for a change.  Ok, clunk click for those old enough to remember that (!) I read it somewhere ;)  here we go...

Firstly the card

I added a WOC two-tone rose to the centre of a flat flower from my stash.

I glued the edges of some petals together to give dimension and highlighted it with

 Stickles glitter glue.

Magnolia Doohickey Swirl edged in Stardust Stickles

Secondly the box lid

Cuttlebug Circles and Happy Birthday embossing folders results look fabulous here.

The green DP was edged with Anna Griffin ink pads.

Happy Birthday embossed on a Scalloped Nestie

and thirdly the card sitting in box base with box lid

Papers are Summer Goodness by Raspberry Road Designs

Hang on, let me put my Gypsy Roseylee well I do luv a cuppa scarf on.....oooh yes, I can see baby themed cards coming - keep a look out for those!

I have added this card to my shop and will be stocking my 'virtual' shelves throughout this month!

Just want her to know.....

I'm thinking of her.  An extremely dear lady who is like a second mom to me has terminal cancer and I'm unable to visit her for reasons I won't go into on here.  Myself, along with her friends, are keeping in touch with the family and I just want her to know I'm thinking of her so I used this sweet image to make her a card.....

This pretty little bird is from A Day For Daisies  

I really like this as it's so versatile (excuse how I've coloured it as I may have designed a new variety of bird here!)

In a previous post here I used some very pretty ribbon from Lidl and said

I would be using it again in future - well here it is in blue and green. 

So pretty isn't it?

This high quality embossed card feels just like fabric.  It's from my local craft supplier.

Although this card's nothing like I'd imagined it would look, I'm pleased with the end result.

Got a lovely free pad of Raspberry Road papers with Quick Cards magazine for this weekend so I'm colouring these Kenny K images again in colours to match the new papers.  I'll post them as and when they're done.
