Happy Birthday Sis!

 

Hi Peeps

Today's card is one that I've made well ahead of time for my sister's birthday in August as I shall be in sunny Spain at the time (HUGE grin!).  

My sister is REALLY into gardening, which sounds a bit weird when you think that she lives on a narrow boat, but some time ago she managed to pursuade the guy who owns the marina where they moor to allow her to look after a little bit of rough ground at the side of the canal.  You should see it now - beautiful flower beds, lawn, greenhouse and shed!!  It's a real improvement on what it used to be I can tell you.  Anyway, bearing this in mind I once again decided to make her a garden based card, and this is the result.  The image is a freebie that I downloaded at some point from Deedledeedoodles.  It's very simple, but I rather liked it.  It was coloured with Copics, and I edged it with distress ink.  The papers are digis, but off the top of my head I can't remember who by, so if you want to know drop me an email, and I'll find out for you.  I made a little ball of garden string to add a bit of texture to the card, and then some ribbon from my stash, and homemade flowers just about complete this one.  As always, I'd love to hear what you think.

Big Sister!

Hi there,

Today, inspite of the beautiful weather I was feeling inspired, so I made this card ready for my sister's birthday in August.  She's not really a 'cutesy' type of girl, which as you all know is my favourite style, but LOVES gardening, so I thought she might appreciate this digital image from Digi Doodle Shop.  They have some FAB images there, and designed two VERY special stamps of disabled children in wheelchairs especially for me!!   Once again, many thanks for that Judy!

Anyway, back to my card.  The paper is from Nitwits, Noah's Too collection.  I wanted to keep it fairly simple in order to preserve the country feel, but of course had to add some flowers, which come from my stash for a change!!  The leaves are an MS punch.  The swirly corner is a Cuttlebug die, and the candy is, as usual, home made.  I then added a bit of matching ribbon, and the charm which is a little touch that I hope she'll like.  Oh, and don't worry - she NEVER looks at my blog!!

Have a great weekend, and don't forget to let me know what you think of my little creation if you have time.

Hi peeps

Hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend? 

I saw this digi image on a blog somewhere, and immediately fell in love and HAD to HAVE it!!  Come on people, you know what it's like!  Oh, NO!  I've just realised I've lost the details of the site I bought it from!!  Anyway, the image, as always is coloured with Copics.  Papers, once again are from the lovely Nitwits, I added a piece of paper rafia, and a couple of homemade flowers, and that's about it.

Do let me know what you think, if you have time.

Hugs

PS. I've just found the details of where the image came from, in case anyone wants to get it, it was Digi Doodle Shop
