Birthday Card

Birthday Card

I have started to collect "simply gorjuss" stamps so yesterday I decided to make this card and door hanger for my daughters friend.  This card was made using "the girls paperie papers", i distressed the edges with scissors then using my sewing machine to stitch stitches all round the paper.  I have seen many cards with this effect of sewing round the edges and was pleased with the outcome.
   The stamp was stamped onto brown card then using inks and watercolor pencils i had a go at coloring the girl in.   Not quite the effect i wanted but im new to this painting. just looking forward to my new pencils arriving and then getting lessons on painting and shading in.


Happy Birthday was stamped onto paper and Lace was added onto the bottom


Flowers & gems were added.
