Happy birthday


A very quick post as we've just got in. Hubby dropped me off at my parents in Kendal at 9.30 this morning whilst he went to a goldpanning world championships meeting further north and then we had tea with Mum and Dad before heading home.
This was the card I made for my sister who was celebrating her birthday whilst in holiday in America at a certain mouse themed park. I thought this Clarity Fairytale castle fitted the bill which I coloured with distress reinkers and fussy cut out before mounting it on a pixie powder background made with a clarity cloud stencil. A bit of faux stitching to emphasise the clouds and I coloured the bottom cloud with a warm grey copic to ground the castle. I stamped and fussy cut the banner and had wrote the greeting on it. I layered it all up with white and black card and foam tape to finish.
Right off to see if I can get away without ironing my tunic for work and then bed. Sweet dreams!
