I hope I find you well. One of the cards I was asked to make by my daughters friend was one for her daughters 17th birthday.
I really struggled with this one as at 17 they are usually to cool for cutsie cards but so not ready for bunches of flowers. So after much browsing on the web and nosying at other peoples creations I decided on this card.
I wasn`t even sure I could pull it off as my measuring skills are pretty rubbish but I thought I`d give it a go and I`m so glad I did. This is, in my opinion, one of the best cards I have ever made. Not that I`m blowing my own trumpet as regular readers will know I`m rarely that happy with the finished result. Let me know what you think.
The heart is cutout with a Sizzix die and surrounded with clear gems for some bling.
The `17` is from Poundland.
The flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and the butterfly is punched with a MS punch.
As most of the papers are snippets, I`m entering this one into Pixies Crafty Snippets Challenge # 62
Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx
I agree Lynne - it's stunning! The measuring on the Union Jack is spot on perfection too - well worth trumpeting ;-)
