This is my Boss Mariannes Birthday card. I have used Stampin Up Early espresso cardstock, and Die cut an oval on the front panel. then backed both front and back with papers from My Minds Eye Lost and Found Blush 6″ paper pad. Lots of ribbon, lace trim, hat pin, flowers and bling! The bird and birdcage were die cut with a Tim Holtz die, and I coloured them with some glossy accents which was coloured with a drop of ink. ( a great technique, thank you Kay).I had some trouble – the card really didn’t stand very well, so I made it a little stand at the back after we took this shot.Marianne loved it, but wonders at the patience required to make these creations ( maybe I’m not that patient at work!) I’ve never thought about it – I didn’t think patience came into it – what do you all think? Til tomorrow….

Die cut Canvas flowers
Please excuse the slightly blurry quality of this photo –Â I took it, not my usual resident photogragher and know you can all see why Nathan does the photos for me! I used My Minds Eye Lost and Found Blush patterned paper and brads on this card` and the flowers were made with my sizzix Stampin Up blossom party die. I used Teresa Collins canvas, and which was a cream colour. I used three different inks and sponged the colours on in quite a random fashion, and overstamped with a script stamp. It went through the cuttlebug beautifully, and I reinforced it with cardstock also cut with the die through the cuttlebug. The bow was cream seam binding which I dyed with matching ink – its a bit blotchy – I will have to practise a bit more! Til tomorrow…..
