I was asked by an older lady to make three birthday cards, so I wanted to make some that are quite traditional and pretty - what better could I use but Anna Griffin supplies.
So for this first one of the three I've followed the sketch for Divas by design 48:
I kept to a green and yellow colour combo. I tore round an oval perspex template with the yellow paper and then lightly brushed the torn edges with shabby shutters DI.
Because my camera is broken I had to take the photo with my iPad - although I've had the iPad for over a year I've never really properly used it to take photos, so I think I need to practise more:
This is also for:
Dare to be sassy Thursdays 138: pop it up - the flowers and bees are decoupaged
PanPastel UK 32: add decoupage
Creative Belli 150: winged things (I've had the Anna Griffin kit for some time now)
Flourishes 183: insects
Jellypark friends: summer bugs
Sassy Cheryl 129: happy birthday
Paper crafting journey: celebration/birthday
Papelitos 7: celebration/birthday
Crafty sentiments: flowers
All kinds of cards 60: flowers as the main motive

Art impressions 76: flowers
Unstampabelles 14: paper flowers
Sparkles 35: nature
House of Gilli 39: add a sentiment
