Card for Karen's Mum

My friend, Karen, has asked me to make a 70th birthday card for her mum. She asked for purple and butterflies. This is my card I have made for her.

I searched on Google for a square sketch and found a great one by PinkPiggyWiggy (many thanks Dawny P xx)

The stamp is from LOTV. The DP and sentiment are from Kaisercraft. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The branches are from my Stampin' Up Two Step Bird Punch. The butterfly is the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch. The lace is from World of Lace (who is an absolutely wonderful English man who has a stall at Carrara Markets on the Gold Coast). I made my own twine with some cross stitching twine. Coloured in with ProMarkers and KindyGlitz.

Mother's Day Card

Good morning. Well, I have had a very busy weekend. I watched my AFL team, Gold Coast Suns, at the first round of the NAB Cup on Saturday night. Sunday was a very early start. Got picked up at 6.30am to go and umpire at a Netball Carnival for Southport Carrara Under 16's Premier League Team. They did really well. Won two of their games, lost two games by one goal and one by four goals! Well done girls! Was in bed by 7.30pm on Sunday!!! Another night of netball on Monday. Umpired three games and played too. Lost by four! Bummer!

I got really good news yesterday when I logged onto Dustin Pike. My dinosaur card won random prize on their recent challenge!!! Woo hoo!! Go me!!

Anyway, back to work today. Not too busy, so managed to make my Mother's Day card for my beautiful mum, who is back in England.

The digital stamp is by Pollycraft, coloured with ProMarkers and KindyGlitz.  The DP was from Kaisercraft. The lace is my old stash, as is the ribbon. The pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

My friend, Millie, is 21 in a couple of weeks so my card this week is for her. She is having a "black and white cocktail" party so really looking forward to that!

My image is "Thomas - Champagne" by Lili of the Valley. The paper is some lovely handmade paper given to me by a friend whose dad owns a stationery company (lucky me!!) and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
