Well, I know tomorrow is going to be a busy day, so I thought I would post this early and share the card that I made for my Mum's birthday, with all my lovely followers. I know she won't peek before the morning...she's been warned!!
And here it is...a special card for a special lady...
There is so much work in this lil creation, I wouldn't know where to begin to tell you what I'd actually done but the main feature of the card, is th die cuts and stamps from the God, Tim Holtz. I teamed these with some gorgeous papers from K & Company. These papers are the sort of papers that usually, I will look at, stroke and never want to cut in to but it was a special occasion, so I did the deed and took the scissors and paper trimmer to them!
I added the finishing touches of my handmade blossoms with their petals lightly tipped in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, some seam binding and a gorgeous pin, just tucked into the birdcage.
Last but not least, I stamped a message, using a Creative Expressions stamp and put this inside the card.
Well, I'm off to watch Casualty, with a nice cup of tea...don't let it be said I don't know how to live on a Saturday night! lol
Hope the remainder of your weekend is relaxing!
See you on Monday...
Love Emma
