18th Birthday Card


















For a friend's daughter's 18th birthday. I'm entering this into this week's C.R.A.F.T challenge, which is to create an age related card.

The card base is dark brown pearlescent card, the backing paper is My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow with hand stitching round the edge.












The decoupage flowers are also Bloom & Grow attached with brads to felt flowers.





The leaves are Quickcutz die cuts cut on green card and coloured with H2os.
















The dragonfly is hand beaded, the birds were cut out using a template and the wings embossed on my cuttlebug. Small punched out flowers added to the base of the birds. Brown ribbon used for the flower stems.
