Hi Everyone
Today's share is a birthday card for one of our good friends who will be celebrating his special day on Sunday.
We have just been and delivered his card and present to him in readiness .. .. but I know that he won't be checking my blog so I am safe in sharing.
Here is the share
Today's share is a birthday card for one of our good friends who will be celebrating his special day on Sunday.
We have just been and delivered his card and present to him in readiness .. .. but I know that he won't be checking my blog so I am safe in sharing.
Here is the share
This used:
Sentiment: Inkadinkado "97856-MM"
Backing Papers: DCWV "The Green Stack"
Sizzix Die: "655903" Bird Baby
Martha Stewart Punch: Embossed Zig Zag
Woodware Leaf Punch
Distress Ink: Tea Dye
Raffia from the stash box
I love the card in this stack. As you can see from the close up, as well as having gorgeous patterns they are beautifully textured and the punches love them too!!
We did actually alter the card once I had photographed it and before we handed it over. Our friend is Scottish and when he says the word "bird" it actually sounds like he is saying "bod" - so we crossed out the "i and the r" and added a "o" above instead.
So off now to do my final packing up for the Festival tomorrow/Sunday. I will give you a progress report tomorrow evening. We are just hoping the weather is kind to us .. .. but it doesn't sound very promising.
Have a good weekend everyone whatever you are up to.
Love Jules xx
p.s. I can't believe it!!! Hubby has switched the central heating on!!! It's still September!!!

Hi Jules, love this and the fact that you can make it so personal to your friend, I'm sure he will treasure it:) I find men's cards a bit of a trial, never really happy with my efforts, so well done and have a great weekend:0) xx

awesome card, I have a bird die like that too,!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had our air conditioning on down here in oz on a few days ago cos it was So horribly humid we weere feeling sick!!! So must be getting in early with the seasons everywhere!!!
I switched our heating on a few days ago ... well to be honest it was never actually switched off - just turned the room thermostat down during the warm weather - it's back up now 'cos I like to be snuggly warm. Great card by the way, I'm sure your friend will love it and the 'bod'.
