Floral border

Hi Everyone, sorry to have been awol, but it was my birthday on Monday and from Sunday on it has been a little hectic. Anyone would think it was a special birthday! LOL. I also want to thank you all for the comments on my last card, it's been very well received and I am so grateful to you all.

Anyhow, my SiL has asked me to make a few cards for her, my BiL has dementia and she can't get out when we wants too. I have had some new Distress inks and I'm loving them, why has it taken me so long to join the party I wonder? I decided to look through my digital stamps, as I had done a couple of successful colouring on them. I found this image and decided to try a CAS card, hoping I could do quite a few the same for her and quickly. I printed, coloured them, added the pearls, die cut the layer and added it 3D'd to the card.

Here is the result.
flowers - Bugaboo
distress inks -
barn door, mustard seed,
peacock feathers, pine needles.
Also Spectrum Noir Markers
GB5, DR3, BT5
colouring pearls from stash
stitched rectangle die - Card Making Magic

Well happy belated birthday wishes heading your way today! I hope it was a good celebration for you regardless of what the number is! Birthdays should always be special! I'm so sorry your BIL suffers with dimentia, but hopefully one day you and your SIL can find a way to get out together and have some fun. Good job on those cards - the distress inks are fun aren't they? The flowers are colored beautifully and that's a pretty set of cards I'm sure your SIL will appreciate!

Faith, I adore this little elephant! The inside is lovely, too. I had forgotten that you and I have birthdays so close to each other. Do you suppose that has anything to do with why we get along so well? :-D
