Spring Happy Birthday

Good Saturday morning lovely crafters.  A chilly, wet morning so let's cheer it up a little with some spring colours :-).

I dug out some pots of Perfect Pearls which I hadn't used in ages.  I know they do look best on darker cards and it is difficult to catch the shimmer on white card, but I'm quite pleased with the background.

Items used:

Stamp: Chloe's Swirly Grass

Perfect Pearls Green Patina and Perfect Gold

Dies: MFT Zig Zag Stitch Circles

Poppystamps Happy Birthday Floral Frame

DI Mustard Seed

Tonic butterfly punch

Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles, gems and glitter glue

Happy Anniversary - curly

Good morning lovely crafters. 

For today's card I've used a lovely stamp I treated myself to recently from the Bubble Bloom range. I bought some other ones too which may be making an appearance soon :-). I like the way you can fill the circles with lots of different things - I've used card candi, but you could use pearls, glitteration dots, crystal drops, brads etc.

Items used:

Main image and sentiment: Woodware Curly Sue (sentiment is from a different set)

WOW St Tropez Sands glitter embossing powder

Card Candi not sure which

Paper:  First Edition The Promise

Dies: Go Kreate Frilly Frame #10 rectangle

DI Antique Linen

edges glittered with Hunkydory Crystallina glitter
