birthday wishes no3

hi and good morning

popping in with my final share for this week.

for today's card i have tried a new style of layout after watching on you-tube a Lady E video, it all looks so easy until it's your turn. i have relied on one of my dies to create my frame (three layers of 160gsm card) and various flowers and bits n bobs i have in my stash, and i've added one of my SB's images as i felt the frame looked a little bare.

note to self: i need to purchase some DL card bases and lots of foam tape for future cards in this style.

goodies i have used:

colours:

skin: vintage photo, tattered rose, worn lipstick

hair: antique linen, walnut stain

Dress: broken china, tumbled glass

bottle: peeled paint, broken china

and my supplies:

fade resistant dye ink: memento - expresso truffle

Tim Holtz:  distress ink

Fabriano 5 - water colour paper

6" x 6" base card

Dies: joy crafts, sue wilson (belated wishes)

papers: white card, designer papers by: lemoncrafts

stamps: Stampingbella - Opal the optimist

embellishments: wild orchid roses, blue stamens, glittery blue berries, white glass berries, stick on pearls, blue satin ribbon

thanks for stopping by enjoy your day.

and craft happy. Ann x
