Birthday Card For My Sister.

I wanted to make a special birthday card for my Sister, so I chose the photo of her when she was younger to put in the centre, I stitched and Die Cut  Ann's Paper Art Stitching Stencil No AND 004, I chose to keep the colours as close to the photo as possible so stitched with my Gutermann thread No's 7001 and 7023, I used my Memory Box Fabulous Phlox Die Style No 98511 to cut the flowers and leaves and added some pearls to the centre of the flowers, I also added a black and a silver ribbon. I embossed the backing card too. My sister was thrilled to bits with this card and is going to buy a box frame to frame it and hang on her wall.

Birthday Card

This is the Birthday card I made for Pam at my craft group, I have stitched APA pattern No 818, I stitched with Gutermann thread No's 567 gold, 1108 pink and 1222 blue, the image is from a Studiolight Easy Die Cut sheet No 113.

Card

This is the card I should have made for my Craft Groups Contest, but I completely forgot to make it, so I sat down on Sunday and made it even though it's too late to enter it.

Motorbike Card

I always struggle to make cards for men, and never know what to do, so I was really happy when I saw the Die for the motorbike by Marianne's Design so just had to buy it from Ann's Paper Art, I stitched APA Pattern No a628, I decided not to prick all the holes to stitch and to add some gun metal gems for where beads are supposed to be, after cutting the Die, I then used a silver ink pad to highlight the embossed parts, I used my Gutermann threads No's 1219 dark grey, and 1197 navy blue to match the Die cut, I used a gun metal coloured card and a navy blue to do the matting and layering to bring the whole card together, I cut out some cogs in gun metal card and added them to the corners to finish..

My Birthday Cards

I was so excited to see all the beautiful birthday cards that I received last week, I just had to share them all with you, each and everyone is a work of art, they have been the first thing that I looked at every morning when I got up, I want to thank every one of you that took the time to make me a beautiful keepsake, there are a lot to look at, I felt that each and everyone should be shown separately to see their beauty.
