Large butterfly birthday wishes

The background of this card was cut from a ready made card blank from The Works (so that I could get two cards out of it, stuck to white card blanks). The large butterfly is one of a set that I got some time ago from TK Maxx (they used to do much more craft stuff than they do now ... wish they would do more because I miss rummaging and finding different things). The little metal domed frame was from The Works.

100% too cute

This is a commissioned card for a two-year old, using Kanban sentiment card offcuts, offcut from a magazine freebie in between and stickers from Poundland, with the addition of the heart and the numeral. The circles all have a glittered edge which isn't really showing here.

80th birthdays

This is a commissioned card. I was asked to make it for a husband and wife who will both be 80. The wife is very interested in going to National Trust properties and the husband likes cycling.

I found the picture of Fountains Abbey, which is a NT property, printed and mounted on to gold mirror card. The decoupaged 'coastal path' with the bicycle is from Hunkydory.

The background is from Hunkydory Marvellous mirri pad 'stunning stripes' - it looks dull in most of the photo, but is nice and bright irl.

The sentiment ovals are from Kanban and the lacy flowers with pearls are from The Works.
