For this card I have stitched Ann's paper Art pattern No a718 and combined it with Sue Wilson's Mini Striplet- Butterflies in Flight Die, I glittered all the little butterflies to add a special touch and also added Creative Expressions Pearls and some pale pink pearls on the stitched butterfly, I think this is a wonderful combination.

Birthday Card
Today is my uncle's birthday, I made this card especially for him, I have stitched a pattern from Hobbyjournaal 119 by Sjaak van Went, I had to enlarge the pattern by 10% so that the decoupage would fit, the decoupage is Reddy Die Cut, S,W.A.L.K. Art No83304, I have used Gutermann thread No's 1128 light brown, 630 green and 1029 blue. I think these images are lovely and it was good to make a fun card for a change, I was going to be cheeky and put the words "To the old fossil" but thought better of it, he might take it the wrong way, I did tell him I was going to do it and he thought it was funny.

For My Sister
Today is my big sisters 60th Birthday, I made this card for her with Ann's Paper Art Stitching Pattern No a292, I had to make sure when I put the bubble wrap on to protect it I folded some tape over for her to be able to open it, my sister had an accident in December and has a badly broken arm and shoulder, so at the moment she only has one arm to use, I know how difficult it is when you can't use both your arms, you have to think very carefully about everything you do, even opening a bottle or cutting up your own dinner and getting yourself dressed is extremely difficult with one arm and can leave you in tears, it's going to be a very long healing process for her, so I hope my sister has a magical day today with her friends celebrating a new era in her life.
