Today I have a commissioned 70th birthday to share with you. Its for a lady in my village - for another lady in my village - I'm pretty sure they don't read my blog so I think its safe to show it here!
This is the front but i think the main appeal is the accordion design - using the original Karen Burniston die from Sizzix.
I have used flower stamps from chocolate baroque, word stamps from Tim Holtz and dies from Die sire.
I've also used an embossing folder from embossalicious.
To make this I cut the four panels then embossed them. Next I added some DI then stuck the panels together. I cut the gold fronts then added them - next I stamped and coloured the flowers and cut them out and added them to the first and fourth panels. Finally i added the die cut ferns.
I hope jacque likes the card!
Have a great thursday - I'm hoping to take my mum and dad to see the christmas decs at a garden centre today and have lunch. I'll let you know!
Big hugs

Hi Rachel, fabulous card, love the style and all the elements to it, especially that gorgeous flower.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning Teallach's new photo, but it's not him, had to think what you meant at first, had a wee chuckle as it's one of those blinkie things I found and put on as I just love the image of the cat sitting in front of a roaring fire. Sadly we have no open fire, but I'm sure if we did have we wouldn't get near it for my fur baby, Kate x
Oh my this is gorgeous and I am sure the lady will love this.
