Happy 40th Birthday

A fancy Gatefold card approx 20cms x 20cms
I really enjoy working this big!

Using Basic Grey Kioshi papers and bird
Basic Grey sticky alphas
Basic Grey felt flower(top right)

The fabric flowers I have created myself in part
by taking apart sprays of artificial flowers
from my local garden centre
and adding fancy brads to centre.


Foliage cut from bits of leftover kioshi Basic Grey papers.

Ribbon with charm and also a small
handmade flower.

I'd like to share this with
Creative Belli Blog - felt or fabric
(I've used both although the felt flower is new-
the fabric ones are maybe more what you have in mind)
Creative Cottage - fabulous florals
Forgotten Scraps - spring or flowers
The Sisterhood of crafters - ribbons/brads
The Latte Lounge - 4B' s (thanks Jen)
