Happy 75th Birthday

********************

A friend that hubby and I met in the Algarve many years ago is celebrating her 75th birthday.

Dies - New York Collection
Seam binding ribbon
Hand made stick pins



I was admiring the jewellery a lady named Sandie was making in her shop and she very kindly gave me some antique looking findings which I have used for the stick pins. She even put them in a storage box for me - how kind is that :)

 

 

Tomorrow I'm off for a little break for 9 days. Take care everyone, I'll catch up with you all when I get back.

Happy Birthday Dear Daughter

******************************

Ingredients
Memory Box die
Painted recycled flower
Lace
Ribbon
Bling
Twine

Instead of dying the flower with DI  like in my last post, I painted this one with some cheapo gold paint and applied a smidgen of gilding wax....

 

  ....adding some gold glittery flakes to centre.

Blue Birthday

*************

For a lady who likes blue :)

She is known as Gerry hence the large gold stamped initial.
The flower was salvaged from a silk Christmas table decoration and I think it is a  Christmas Rose (hellebore) - it was white but think now that has been dyed it could pass for a blue poppy. The leaf came from some other silk flower arrangement.

Ingredients
Freebie paper
Ribbon
String/twine
Pearls
Net
Sue Wilson die

I tried to lighten the twine with white paint, It didn't turn out like I expected but I quite like the result.
