Lots of friends and family celebrate their birthdays this week, but I have concentrated on the two people that also have blogs...since you wouldn't know the others ha!
Yesterday was a very special birthday for my lovely friend and cyber Mummy Shirley.
Anyone that knows Shirley knows what a lovely, sweet and kind lady she is, as well as a very talented crafter, and she deserves the most special of special birthdays.
Today is the birthday of my Sweetie sister Maria.
I hope you also have the bestest of birthdays...I'm sure there will be cake as there are two little girls that would love some too, and lots of lovely gifts to open.
I sent Maria a puppy!
OK, a puppy on her card since a puppy wouldn't travel well all the way to Norway.
The stamp is of course a Magnolia Tilda which came free with the latest magazine.
As always, she's coloured with DI re-inkers and markers.
The gorgeous papers are Pion Design, an older set but I still love these so much, Studio Of Memories.
The sentiment, banner die and butterfly die are all from PTI.
Not much going on with embellies...I think they're getting less and less!
Didn't think it could be possible really, but hey ho, I likes 'em CAS :)
Happy Birthdays to my two lovely friends.
Big hugs
Love

Love your minimalist trimming - perfect for the papers & just absolutely your style. There's so much detail in your elements (button, thread, inked edges, meticulous matting) anyway that clutter is not required!
ReplyDeleteHope you're loads better.

Hi Elaine, today has been a feeling yucky kinda day, but here I am cheered up before I go to bed again with your gorgeous card for Maria. I'm sure she thinks the same. Happy birthday to both of the girls and well done to Sinikka.I haven't seen this stamp before, she really is a sweetie. The colours are so delicate and those little legs and shoes are so cute. Hope you have a good week....Trish
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sweet and beautiful colours you've picked :)

Hi Elaine
ReplyDeletewhat an adorable card, I bet Maria absolutely loved it (this one will definitely be a keep card).

This is lovely, CAS or not but I think any embellies would only detract from your lovely coloring.
