Today is my lovely friend Nicola's birthday and this is the card I made for her. I chose this sentiment to go with the image rather than the more typical 'happy birthday' as we don't get to see each other very often and I wanted to know that I still value our friendship.
This is a 5x7" card so I've been able to add a few more details than I usually go for, although you don't want to know how long I spent deliberating over that ribbon!. The image has been painted with watercolour pencils and I heat embossed the sentiment with turquoise sparkle EP (got to get some glitter in somewhere!). I'm not sure how well it shows in the photo but I have distressed the edges of two of the layers for added texture.
As I have used 2 Penny Black stamps for this card I would like to submit it for the current challenge over on Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
such an adorable card and your friend will love it...thanks for joining in the fun this week at PBSC...hugs kath xxx
