Travel Birthday card

Well,  the sun is shining here after a dull start, but still very hot and humid.    Hope you are all enjoying the Commonwealth Games ,  I certainly am and the four British nations are doing so well.
Anyway,  my card today was one that I made for my lovely SIL whose birthday was a couple of weeks ago.   Its was a kit card from Craftsuprint,  and I have to say the quality of their printing is fabulous.  I decoupaged quite a bit of it and used glossy accents to highlight the numbers on the timepiece and on the bird.    I use their paper too when printing out one of their cards.   When I started making cards many years ago now,  I loved Pergamano and Decoupage,  so I ran off lots of designs ready to make up for my box.  Now, I think I have moved on to stamping and die cutting my cards look so different.   However,  I did admit to buying a few new ones recently and I will share them with you shortly. 
Off to finish another card,  for my Grandsons Fiance,  as its her birthday on Monday.
  Take Care Everyone and Enjoy every Day.      Hugs Rita xxxx
