happy birthday, star sign Cancer

 good morning to all

today i am sharing a shabby style card using Stampingbella's Cancer star sign.

an unusual colour combination for me but her dress is spectacular.

i still have lots to learn with my distress inks using different colours and combinations and also with adding frantage, it seemed like a good idea at the time, i'm a little bit messy..

i have a mix of designer papers on the card i have used: riddlesholme, maja and tim holtz, and i have also used my personal stamp but i think it's a little too large so i will be ordering something a little smaller.
