Gosh where has the last week gone? I haven't had a chance to make any cards at all or keep up to date with all the normal challenges I like to check out, although I had to sit down and make my daughter Freya a birthday card as she is going to be 13 tomorrow, my youngest child is going to be a teenager, that makes me feel so old!!!Anyway back to her card. This is the first time ever that I have made a joy fold card, I printed some instructions off from Splitcoast Stampers website but had never got round to making one so I thought I'd make one today. I have adapted the sizes as I wanted to make her a reasonably big card.
I have printed the backing papers from a new digi download that I bought from Cuddly Buddly yesterday as they have a 25% sale off until tomorrow. Its called A patchwork of papers which has various patterns all in red in it so both designs of the paper were from there.
The image is a Karens Doodles image which I have coloured in with Promarkers. The circles have been cut using nesties and the text has been done using wordart, the circle on the left hand side of the card is to keep the flap part of the card shut. I have added gems into the four corners of the front flap and edged with silver line peeloffs. I have also added line peel offs around the Happy Birthday paper on the left hand side of the card.
I am entering the card into the following challenges
