I made the paper flower and used a brad for the centre.The paper on the top half of the card is quite busy but I felt it needed something, in the end I cut a tag and threaded ribbon through it and tied it in a knot.

Happy Birthday Crafty Cardmakers

This will be the first card challenge I have entered. It's for the Crafty Cardmakers blog and the theme is birthdays. I have used basic grey papers on a brown card with ribbon and flowers from my stash. The greeting is from Anita's Glitterations and stuck on paper cut with a Nellie Snellon die.

Paper Flowers

Over at Crafty Cardmakers they have a tutorial for paper flowers. I found it very easy to follow and I'm pleased with my first attempt, I used scraps of paper to make them as I wasn't sure how they would turn out. Because I didn't have the glue and glitter used in the tutorial, I used glitter glue around the edges which is very subtle and doesn't show up very well in the photo. The link to the tutorial is  http://inspirationaltechniquesandtutorials.blogspot.com/2010/04/pretty-vintage-paper-flower-posies.html

My very first blog

I have decided to start entering card challanges and since most of the challanges require you to post your entry on your blog, I have had to start blogging. I'm not sure how many challanges I will enter as my inspiration comes and goes and I find it quite hard to make cards on demand, but I thought if I had a blog set up I would be ready when it appeared.. I'm also not sure how much if any actual bloging I will do but I'm ready to give it a go.
