Christine's birthday

Today is the very special birthday of yet another Christine - this time it's Christine M,

who regularly comes to my Monthly Saturday 1/2 day workshop.

(I won't tell everyone which special birthday this is Christine - your secret's safe with me!)

As I won't see her now until mid November, I had to design a card that

was pretty flat and would travel through the Royal Mail system safely and economically.

This is what I came up with.

I stamped the background on the  Rich Razzleberry card stock using Versamark
and  the grass/flowers from the Just Believe stamp set. I stamped "Friend" (from Just Believe also) in the top RH corner in Rich Razzleberry ink. I inked up the central image from the Layered Labels stamp set using a Rich Razzleberry Stampin Write Marker, and left the Hearfelt sentiment off it.

I cut this using the Apothecary Accents Framelits die.

When I had done this, I had smudged the central panel, so I had to use a punched Modern Label

in RR and layered the Just for You sentiment (cut with the Word Window punch) on top.

The only embellishment I have used is some Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle on the ends of the flourishes. (The picture's so bad you can't see it, but it really does make it sparke IRL)

I am quite happy with this - and I hope that Christine likes it.

Happy Birthday Christine - hope you are having a lovely day!!.
