Birthday Wishes
Hey Guys :)
I’ve had a spot of the lurgy this week which is why I’ve been a bit quiet and it also meant that I had to take a break from the exercise bike for a couple of days but I still managed to lose over 5 pounds for the week so all is good!
I had trouble concentrating on anything too creative but I did have a pretty productive session taking my patterned paper scrap draw out and creating some backgrounds with them. I piled some of the co-ordinating papers together, then cut into strips and attached to some pre-cut pieces of card either horizontally or diagonally. The next day I sewed along all of the joins and ended up with some lovely background designs, it cleared some of my scraps and was very satisfying indeed. Here are the ones left over after today’s card which you’ll no doubt see popping up every now and then.
I’ve made a flourish cut files for you today, it was a request from a while back, also I have a digi sentiment for you too. I printed my sentiment in a dusky pink colour using this method to change the colour then cut with a nestability. I cut the same flourish twice, stuck together to make a symmetrical shape and placed behind one of my rolled flowers then popped onto my sentiment panel. I cut my decorative border 1 then added both the border and my sentiment panel onto one of the backgrounds shown above then finally added some seam binding ribbon and some flat backed pearls.
