Belated birthday wishes

The paper for this card is an offcut from  GCDstudios paris nights collection - double sided. The main background piece is flocked and almost feels like velvet. I wrapped the thick black lace around the smaller piece - the lace looks a lot more defined in real life - adding the Craftime sentiment, the Bebe Daniels picture (which was in a bag of ephemera) and the brown flower with the prima spacer inside.

More sunflowers

Having made the previous card using a Papermania sunflower border, I had a piece left over - not a very long piece because the previous card was 8 x 8. I've used this to put on the base of a card with 'just for you' background from a bloc that I bought years ago (I have so many of these and don't think I'd use them up even if I used a piece every day till I'm 100!).

All it needed then was the Craftime sentiment and the embossed die cut butterfly with parts inked with a spectrum noir.

Sunflowers to brighten a dull day

It rained all day yesterday and what is it doing today? ... raining!

So it's nice to use some sunflowers to brighten the day. What do you do with a piece of 8 x 8 paper that is a picture in itself and really doesn't need much added to it ... add a Papermania sunflower border, of course - and a sentiment panel.

Happy birthday

Among my birthday presents I had an M & S gift card. Instead of putting the front of the card in the paper recycling bin, I've used it on this card, using an A5 yellow card blank and two pieces of paper from my offcuts box. A few Poundland felt buttons and the card was done.

I was inspired by the wavy lines for this Use your stuff 150: ad inspired challenge, as well as the bright colours:
