Birthday Card
Hello again. Today I can show you the card I made for Annie's birthday. It is an 8 x 8 card and I used Craftwork cards Paper pad called Paradise and do you know it certainly does live up to its name. The pad is 8x 8 as well and it really is beautiful. I used a sheet of paper to front the card and then a piece of corrugated card that I painted with gesso and also gave it some gilding wax treatment too, it was matted on to a piece of beautiful teal pearlescent card that was a leftover from another project. I then did some decoupage to the flowers ( sorry you cannot see it very well ). The birds I cut our from another page and crackled them . My first time using rub-ons and found it hard to keep them straight. I used some chit chat stickers to finish it off, along with some embellishments from my stash.
I've been doing a bit of sewing every day to get my fabric memory album finished. By gum it takes a lot of lace and material. However, this is one challenge that i am enjoying as its well in my comfort zone. Hope you are all enjoying this lovely spell of weather. Long may it continue.
Hugs Rita xxxx

Rita,
I love the card. So many times I have been curious to try those rub on items, but never have the courage thinking it is not always a sure thing (would hate to ruin the project at hand).
I wanted to thank you for stopping by my "bird cage" post. I, too think it came out really good. You should give a little cage a try yourself.
It is always so wonderful to have you stop by.
Have a great rest of the week.
