Female Birthday Card

Today, I have a birthday card to share with you that I recently made for a friend.
This is the first time I have used the embossing folder which was one of my purchases
at the Ally Pally craft show in April. It's so pretty and is one I think I'll be using a lot.

I started by first cutting the circular die from the base card, and stamping the sentiment,
which is two from a set. Then using two dies taped together I made the lilac frame.
Next I placed them all together and taped them back into the aperture, added
the bird and the flowers.
The single bird has been snipped from a branch of five birds.

The products I have used are:-
Stitched semi circle - purchased from eBay
Sentiment stamps - purchased from eBay
Bird - purchased from eBay
Leanne Creatif Embossing Folder - Little Flowers
Woodware punch - Fern
Xcut Punch - Small Daisy

  6. This is such a sweet card Janice! The embossed background is just perfect for this delicate card. Love the pop of color from the little cluster of flowers too! Sorry I've been MIA recently. We've been doing lots of work on our daughter's new home. Just trying to play "catch-up" here. I've missed lots of lovely posts from you. Sending (hugs).
