My sister's birthday.

This first card is the actual

Birthday Card.

I made a pop up element

for the inside.

Stamps are Craft Consortium

Tell the Bees.

Gorgeous illustrated range of paper 

is also available, with ribbon

& sequins.

I coloured using Inktense pencils.

 Here is the inside

Showing the pop up.

In hindsight I wish that

I had added a tiny bit more depth

to the section but it was my

first attempt!

 This next card was made

to send her gift.

Here I used distress oxide inks

over heat embossing.

Colours are

Wilted Violet & Broken China.

Stamps are cover gift from 

Creative Stamping Magazine.

The inside was stamped

using the same set. 

I stamped some images, cut them out

then stuck them overlapping

each other slightly.

The fruit are from a

French company Aladine

I cut a slit in the bowl

& tucked them in.

Her gift is a years subscription

to Jamie Oliver's magazine.

I folded the renewal email

confirmation to add inside

with her number etc.
