My Mothers day card

This is the card I have made for my Mum for Mothers day
It was a double folded front card, I trimmed the left side diagonally.
The middle Butterfly is on a acetate strip so it wafts freely.
The flower is a version of a nestabilities origami flower. Instructions Here, but I altered it slightly & used a scalloped punch. I also chose 2 papers & glues them together rather than using double sided paper. The butterfly's are cut & embossed with cuttlebug die/ folder, the same with the leaves. The stalk is velvet ric rac ribon & the bookplate Sizzix. The mum is a script sizzlits die.

Made a card

Yes, don't all faint, i actually finished a card. As usual, last min, Ste is out tonight at a silver wedding anniversary do & needed a card. Took me ages to decide on the design , Kept changing my mind/ finding things I could use. I may add a peel off/ rub on saying silver anniversary/ wedding anniversary on the front, but don't have one to hand, although its not major if i don't. I have a stamp, but its a large font, so not suitable.
I used DCWV metallic stack for the silver, Layered with Papermania vellum/ brads. The centre square is a cuttlebug die & the 25 is a script sizzlits die.
I ended up buying some silver peel offs & added Happy Silver to the top, & Wedding Anniversary to the bottom, both on the vellum, but between the brads top & bottom. I didn't take another pic as put them on then my son took the card.

My Eldest is 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat was my eldest son ( Ste)'s 18th Birthday. He had a Do!!, & it was a great night out. I don't like the way that webshots does the slide show, it crops the pics funny so they look worse than they are. Its probably better to double click through to see them all. My other 2 lads ( both in black Jackets & shirts) wern't druk, it was just bad pics.


Ste’s 18th Do!!
