For a very good friend of mine.....

Hiya,

I want to share with you a card I have made for a very special pal of mine.... I bought the template for this card when I went to the craft show with her last year and as we're both planning on going again soon, I thought I'd better use it! 

I've used one of my fave Lili of the Valley images, coloured her with promarkers and oodles of glitter :-) The border punch is from xcut. The papers are from crafts too and I've added some of my almost compulsory butterflies and some cute little buttons.

When you open up the front you can tell that it's a special birthday for a special friend but I won't dwell on that too much! The numbers were cut using the sizzix bang! zoom! alphabet and the sentiment is from Daisy and Dandelion.

I made a little pocket in the back to hold part of her birthday present - a ticket to this year's craft show! The rest of her present was a surprise night out to a comedy club with some pals. It was a right laugh!!!

A close-up of the image. I gave her some tiny gems for buttons.... you can't see the glitter very well I'm afraid :-(

Challenges:

I'm also entering this into the World Cardmaking Day celebration on the LOTV Ideas to Inspire blog.......

See you again soon!

Love 'n' hugs,
