90th Birthday

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

What a special birthday and this lady is a marvel........she was a devoted fan of the local football team (Rushden and Diamonds) from their humble start to when they went into liquidation.  She was interviewed on TV one time and pulled no punches giving her opinion.
She still helps to serve dinners to the 'old folk' at the community centre...the majority of them much younger than she is, lol. She walks to the local club every evening for a drink...really only one....and then walks back home!!
She is sharp as a tack and bright as a button.....a real legend :)

Wedding

********

Hello lovely friends :)
 
These must be the worst photo's I've ever taken of a card and unfortunately I can't try again as it was collected on Friday for the wedding on Saturday.
This must also be a record  for the time it has taken to do this blog  post.....this computer is ancient and is driving be bonkers !!

The brief for this card was cream, silver, a touch of purple with a birdcage theme so out came this super die cut from the lovely Sarah at Craft all Day.   I used a silver dabber on it which gave it a nice rustic look.

The main BP has a pretty flowery, slightly embossed design on it.  I made the flowers from this too.
The torn panel is embossed with an M-Bossabilities folder.
The bird and cage, topped with a cream seam binding double bow and heart shaped button are layered  on to muslin

It took three goes to make the envelope, lol.  
I didn't want more ribbon as a pull for the message so I 'sparkled up' a heart and added a small gem instead. I used stickles Diamond  and it shows pink here :/

The flower 'arrangements' are a mix of Marianne Creatables dies and flowers from stash

A Golden Day #2

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

The second  card for my neighbour's parents.


The main DP panel is a design by Eva Kipler from Sweet Shoppe - I love this paper :)
This is layered with foam tape on to some parchment type paper with pierced edges and rounded corners.
The next layer is the lovely CB  texture embossing folder with gold painted Die D-Lites Garden Weave and finally a scroll with computer generated greeting printed on the same parch type paper

More flowers with the Marianne die :)

The final touch is the bow - gold net ribbon from Linda, the Funkie Junkie's boutique and a handmade stick pin

And the inside, again using the main DP as on the front
