Happy 30th Birthday

Ooh I remember being 30.......sigh.   Never mind it's someone else's turn now and I hope they enjoy every minute of it!

I was inspired to make this card by a card I saw on Susan's Crafty Chaos.  When I saw this image I thought "I've got that decoupage sheet" and look how good it looks,  So I made this card for the sister of a friend of mine.  Think I went a bit overboard with the embellishments...... it looks a bit cluttered LOL.

Anyhow, here it is, let me know what you think

 

The decoupage image is from The Crafty Purple Frog.  The backing paper (that you can just see in the top left corner) is from Crafty Chaos Designs.  The ribbon, lace (yes, there is lace) and flowers are all from my stash.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge(s)

One Stitch at a Time - #81 Use Your Favourites (ribbon, lace, flowers)

March Hare

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are are all well :) Thank you all very much for your kind comments and congratulations for my daughter Alex.

March Hare is the name of the image I used for the card I would like to show you.  I bought this image sometime ago, from the Octopode Factory and the proceeds went to help the victims of the riots in London.  But never got around to using it.  Then my friend asked me to make a Birthday card for one of her colleges at work and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity (and also very apt, considering I also know said college LOL).

So here it is, let me know what you think :)

The image is March Hare from the Octopode Factory.  The sentiment is from my twisted little mind.  The backing paper is from Crafty Chaos Designs, but you won't be able to buy it, as this is how this particular sheet looks when the printer runs out of ink LOL  I thought is was cool, so I used it anyway.  The brads, ribbon and lace are all from my stash.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge(s)
