wonderful birthday wishes

hi and good morning everyone

every now and again i am asked to make a birthday/baby/wedding/wedding anniversary card.

this card is for a colleague at work and his request were as follows:

had to have a large birthday cake

not to be too girlie

and had to include friendship somewhere on the card.

so i decided to start backwards in creating the card base first (based on a previous card i had made) colour a couple of images (to choose from) once the image had been chosen attach it to the card. the stampingbella image will be saved for another project.

here's a little photo journey of the card:

hair: walnut stain, antique linen

dresses: faded jeans, chipped sapphire, spun sugar, worn lipstick, speckled egg and picked raspberry.
