Commitment

I am entering this card in the following challenges.

fabnfunky  Challenge 37  ---  Sharing Recipes

Pollycraft  Challenge 58  --- 3 papers 2 embellishments 1 image

2 Sisters   Challenge 5   ---    a sketch


 I thought this card would be a good one to send to my friend Rose who is setting up home with her "man". They are celebrating by having a commitment party. The message inside is "Congratulations on your commitment to each other".
The main paper is from Dovecraft, the pink paper is from my stash, I used a cuttlebug swirls embossing folder on it to give it some texture, I matted and layered it onto black paper. I used 2 black buttons and a heart charm as embellishments
The image is a freebie from Sj's  Little Musings who is very talented and generous with her digital images

The papers and paper ribbon are from Basic Grey , the greeting is from Anita's Glitterations. 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.

Thank you for looking at my project

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.
