Good morning folks!
I was struggling to come up with a birthday card for my sister last night.... do you find sometimes that close family members don't always 'get' the whole cute thing we do with images? Well mine don't, so I knew I had to come up with something a bit different, but what?! When I'm blog hopping and I see something I love I always make a note for future reference, so I looked through my list and came across one which I'd named bird houses...... hmmmmm, intriguing!! So I checked it out and came across this amazing card here..... wow, what a talented lady!!! And I knew this would be perfect for my sister's March birthday.... pretty, feminine and very seasonal.
I obviously put my own mark on the card but would like to say a huge thanks for the inspiration! As you can see I made some more of these little torn roses.... I think they might become my trademark soon as I just love making them!! I also took lots of inspiration from the challenge over at Simply Create as they have a mood board to work with and the colours are just beautiful!
I added in a little fabric bird and used some scraps of Kay & Co paper for the houses.... plus more of my gorgeous fabric vine leaf ribbon..... not sure I'll cope when that runs out, lol!
I'm also entering the following challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - Signs Of Spring
Crafty Calendar - Spring
Crafty Cardmakers - Fabric
Have a wonderful day and enjoy the sunshine if you're lucky enough to get a little!
