Wishing you well in your new home

A new home card using card and elements from a kit (think it was Hunkydory - not sure) - the main image being decoupaged. It's a three fold DL card. Difficult to get good photos on a dull day - much more shiny and bright IRL.

As the front is opened the inner fold is revealed:

And as that is folded back you then see the inside:

Happy birthday

I used the front of a shaped card on to a card blank, die cuts from nestie labels, the middle one of which was embossed with a folder and swiped with a distress ink pad. The ribbon and flowers were rescued from a card received a few years ago.

Colours are for The shabby tea room 161: shabby spring:
