Happy Birthday Charis

Woohoo - it's the first day of the summer holiday!  It's been a long, hot, emotional few weeks and now it's all over.  Yesterday I said a very tearful goodbye to 30 brilliant children, who I've known since they were four years old. The day was even more emotional as our Head Teacher left.  I am so pleased for him as he is moving on to a bigger school, but sad for me as he employed me and believed in me, and has been very supportive to me over the last few years.  But things change, and September is a long way off.
 
Anyway, enough of that!  Today is my niece's 17th birthday, and here is the card I made for her.
 
My absolute favourite products of the moment are encapsulated on this card.  I love the Six Sided Sampler and matching Hexagon punch (anyone who knows me, knows I adore hexagons!).  Papillon Potpourri is just incredible, teamed with the Bitty Butterfly punch, and as for the new In-Colours - they are just my favourite Stampin' Up colours ever!  Here I have used Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe.
 
 
The card was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest - can't give a name-check unfortunately as I didn't make a note of it and now can't find it!
 
I'll be back soon with a slightly different version of this card. 
 
Have a good day and thanks for dropping by.  Take care

Elegant Birthday

Good morning.  Just a quickie today.  Apologies in advance for the quality of photos on this post.  This proved a very tricky card to photograph, and even the scan isn't much better.
 
I embossed a white panel with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder and mounted it on to Primrose Petals card stock, which in turn was mounted onto the white base card.  I then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from Made for You onto the card, also in Primrose Petals.  I accented the flowers with a few little gems, and there we are.   If only the photos did it justice!
 




Thanks for popping in.  As ever, your comments are very much appreciated.

I'm off to scrap!  Have a lovely day.
