Mum’s birthday card…

 

In 1947 in a village in deepest Devon called Woolfardisworthy (pronounced Woolsery – go figure) this lovely lady was born to May and Alan Dennis, a third daughter Helen Mary.

and of course she is my mum.

Here is the card that I have made for her for her birthday on wednesday. In light of what is happening with Dad she doesn’t want to celebrate particularly so it’s a fairly straightforward one.

The background paper was made in Susi’s fab caught in crystal class that she did for us at the retreat and I was so pleased with it thanks Susi

I then used the resist technique on the topper with clear heat embossing and distress inks. I used a stamp that I had as a freebie from this months papercraft inspirations mag. I love the cute butterfly. The sentiment stamp is one from PaperArtsy and the flower is Papermania with a Prima pebble.

I enjoyed it, although the elements weren’t all made together and actually I think I liked it better for being quick to put together.
