A card for Mum

Not my Mum....... but a commission for a friend who wanted a card made for her Mum's birthday....... and it had to contain pink!!!!
What is it with people wanting pink put on their cards........ does the world not know that I don't do pink...... it should be purple! lol

I wasn't quite sure where I was going with this card but I like where I ended up!
This is the whole card....
And here are some close ups for you...



Sorry about some of the lighting issues with the card.
I had to take the pics late at night as the card was being collected in the morning. Oops.... I must look at investing in a photo tent and some lighting for it.
Anyway, the person who was giving the card loved it, so that's the main thing.
Cards this shape are great for using up backing papers and little bits and bobs as you get to decorate the outside and inside along with the front panels.
The 'MUM' was done with chipboard letters that I coloured, then shaded, then embossed with holographic embossing powder to give lots of sparkle..... I do love a bit of sparkle......
Prep work this week is for the demo that I will be doing in Craftworld, Hillington.
This Saturday from 10am - 4pm.... using all the latest Do Crafts yummyness.... Would be great to see you if you have time to come along and say hi.

I'll show you some of my samples over the next few days.
Back to work for the mo...
Happy crafting...
