Hi Everyone!
Yes, I am back again today! Just trying to catch my blog up with my recent makes over the last couple of weeks.
This time I am sharing a card I made for my mum for her birthday. This year she celebrates her 75th birthday and I wanted to make her something a little special.
I had a hard time trying to think of what to make for her and I really did leave this card to the absolute last minute to make. I made it the day after her birthday as we were seeing her that night for dinner out.
I remembered I had 2 new die sets in my stash which I had not used yet. The first one being Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms die set and the other being the Made To Surprise 6x6' Shutter Blind die set so I decided to combine both to make mum's card.
I am so happy with how the card turned out - it did take me quite a few hours to make - not so much the mechanism of the card but fiddling and fluffing around cutting the flowers and figuring out how to place them until I was happy with it. But I did enjoy the process and the time went quite quickly.
I left the shutters blank with the flowers raised around the edges and then the shutters reveal the sentiment.
And I included a '75' as a last minute thought seeing that it really is a milestone birthday.
I loved the colours I used and you can see the truer colour in the video - it's a lovely aqua and I used silver mirror board for some highlight. The embossing folder I used to add a basket texture is from We R Memory Keepers.
Here are a couple of pics
