happy birthday

 hi, and good morning to all

today's share is a little shabby chic creation using one of the first stampingbella stamps i bought a good few years ago: Faith the fairy

i just wished she'd have wings but hey oh she is gorgeous. 

the colour choices have been kept limited as i wanted an aged/vintage feel to the card. the image was coloured with my other images from my recent colourings that i shared but forgot to add it to the snaps i'd taken.

the card has been created by cutting down my designer and card stock papers to size, die cut my circles, scrapped all the edges of the papers and matted them together, stamped my sentiments, slotted my image behind my cut outs before i taped everything onto my base card. to complete i have attached my lace die cut and adhered my mulberry roses to finish.  

last sunday's shopping spree at a local craft fair at bolton wanderers stadium (craftarama) was great i managed to pick up a few things like card blanks, new stamps and also a new stamping platform and i know i probably spent more than i intended, i bumped into the lovely Jen Nelson whilst browsing on dies to die for stand and i knew if i stayed there any longer i would have spent more but i managed to stock up on what i needed, yay.
