21st birthday wishes

Good afternoon folks

Yes I know I have been neglecting my little blog recently but I promise to try harder to post more regularly from now on.

February is a busy month for male birthdays and this year is 21st birthday year so please forgive the number of 21st birthday posts from now on.

Here is the first of many - 

For this card I have used - 

• white linen card, matt black card, blue glitter card and blue matt mirri card (all from Crafter's Companion)
• Sara's signature collection Just for men - on your birthday embossing folder
• X-cut stars die set
• Tonic essential numbers - 1 and 2

I added a shadow to the numbers using the matt black card.

I used two of the stars dies to make star frames.

That's all from me to day.

Hello

Sorry it has been a while....... Work has been getting in the way of my crafting recently but as it is the start of half term I am determind to get into my crafty haven.

I have made the occassional card but haven't always photographed them so I have also had very little to post. The good news is I have photographed my more recent makes so I at least have something to post now.

Background

• Sheena's stamping card

• distress inks (as above)
• Spectrum Noir midas ink - bronze
