Male Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made recently for a friend to 

give to her husband.

I started by making an A5 card base in black card.

I decoupaged the DIY image, then mat and layered it, along with the embossed 

panel and the computer generated sentiment.

I added the small punched circles and the card candi to finish.

The products I have used are:

Decoupage Image from The Best of La Pashe CD-Rom 2012

Cuttlebug Embossing folder - Spots and Dots

Stitched banner die - brand unknown

EK Success punch - Small circle

Home made card candi

Happy 75th Birthday!

Today's card is one I made for my card-making friend who celebrated

her 75th birthday on Monday.

She loves gardening, so I thought this decoupage was perfect for her.

I started by scoring lines on the lower half of the card to add some texture,
embossed a strip of co-ordinating coloured card for the centre, and added
some peel-off borders to decorate the edge.
I mat and layered the decoupage picture, created the sentiment on the computer,
then added a little bit of bling to the oval card.

The products I have used are:-
La Pashe decoupage - Bloomin' Lovely

Couture Creations A4 Embossing Folder - Swiss Dots
Spellbinders Nestabilities- Ovals and Scalloped Ovals
Hougie Board

Promarkers
Sentiment is computer generated.
