Happy birthday



Someone on one of the forums I'm on was asking for suggestions for presents for her Mum who loves bees and gardening. I knew I had some suitable papers in my stash and so I offered to make a card for her. I made two so I that she could choose which one she preferred.
I started off with a base stepper from a tattered lace die set on cream card. I layered up silver Miri and some pearly patterned Hunkydory card that I had had in my stash for ages. The bee papers are from craftwork cards Potting shed ll collection. I die cut the happy birthday with a Britannia die and then assembled the card before decanting most of my paper flower collection on to it! Must save up and do another Wild Orchid Crafts order to restock. I'll show you the other card I made tomorrow. Hope the weather stays fine for you all.
