Birthday Beauty

Afternoon peeps

I hate getting older.  Last night I found myself in the position of being told off for upsetting another colleague, the person telling me off was a young lad that went to school with my son, I can not put into words how that felt, especially when he is now doing the job that I was doing last year.


Anyway, again crafting to my stress relief and this afternoon I have made a Birthday card.  The digital stamp is called The Most Adorable Cavalier from The Paper Shelter and I have coloured it using Copics and ProMarkers.

White card stock
Digital patterned papers

Vintage Wedding Day

Afternoon peeps

That has been a tough couple of nights and I still have two more to go.  We have had to move around all of the Laundry aisle which has seemed heavier than the soft drinks we done the other week.  The shelves are really heavy and on top of that, there is a self facing kit which weighs just as much.  I think we are all going to ache by the end of the week.


Anyway, it has taken a couple of days to make this card because of time.  The digital stamp is called Vintage Brides Day from A Day For Daisies and I have coloured it using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Pink card stock
Digital patterned paper
Text background made by myself
Adirondack Earthtones Espresso ink pad
Die'sire Wedding Day die
White ribbon
White Heart shaped button
Pearls
