Twin Girls

My cousin and his wife are now the proud parents of beautiful twin girls and here's the card I made for them.

I used Funky Fairys free download paper, which was matted onto silver mirri card to give a narrow border.

Before printing the cute baby girl decoupage sheet, I nipped into PSP (Paint Shop Pro) and reversed the topper so I could have mirror images for my front panel.
I did actually do a wee bit of decoupage to add a little dimension, only one layer I know, but regular readers here know it isn't my favourite thing so ... my theory is that one is better than none ... isn't it.?
The names were added using silver peel off letters.

Inside I again matted the pretty paper onto silver mirri card and then added a clear adhesive sticker onto the last scrap before popping it in the bottom corner.

Challenge #34 over at Funky Fairys this week is 'Recycling' and the bonnie pink twill ribbon was removed from a t-shirt before heading off to the wardrobe in the sky, and the buttons are also recycled from a cardigan, so that keeps me in with the theme.

Birthday Girl

I made a card for my little niece who is 11 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESH!!

I used lilac and pink Dovecraft chalks to colour the embossed card, but they are not showing too clearly here. With a craft knife and ruler, I cut 2 windows from the card front, around which I glued paper flowers from my stash.

I adhered pale pink vellum to the inside back and then added the silver peel off greeting and flower, lining them up with the windows. I then dipped a cocktail stick in bright pink glitter glue and added it to the centre of the paper flowers and also used it to dot the letter 'i' in the greeting. As a finishing touch I added a pretty butterfly embellishment between the windows as shown in the close up.
