Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September 2018 challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September 2018 challenge.If you make anything that includes some patterned paper you can link your entries and you might be the randomly chosen winner of lovely papers that I'm giving away as the prize. Please click on the challenge link to find out more and join in the fun.

This was a commissioned card for a friend to give to her friend for her 70th birthday. The background paper is from DCWV the Blossoms and Butterflies stack - a lovely embossed and glossy look that doesn't show here. I cut round the lovely birdcage from Hunkydory's little book of Pearl with Centura pearl. Near the bottom I used a Papermania pink roses 3D floral border, taking one or two of the ladybirds and butterflies off the piece that I was left with and adding other butterflies from Anita's sheets.

This is also for the theme and colours for House of cards September:

To my dearest friend

This is an 8 x 8 commissioned card - I was asked to have a floral background and plenty of flowers and to include a teddy bear, as well as the 65. The background paper is Paper Boutique blooming lovely. Near the bottom I used a Papermania pink roses 3D floral border, taking one or two of the ladybirds and butterflies off the piece that I was left with. The lovely swirled paper roses were from The Works; the padded teddy and the spotty bow from stash.

Happy 1st birthday

This is a commissioned card (obscured the little lad's face on purpose). As there are elephants on his outfit (difficult to see here though), I decided to go with the elephant theme (with a few other animal helpers). Having printed the picture I framed with a Nellie Snellen die cut. The background paper that had the elephant on is K & Co (the other items hid the other three squares). 3D stickers from stash.

For a cat lover's birthday
