A Rose Is A Rose - 80th Birthday Card

Hi all,

Well I'm on a roll here, so thought I'd upload another commissioned card that I've just this minute finished. My Mum's friend asked me to make a card for her Mother's birthday and so I started it last night and finished it off this morning. I'm really pleased with it, so thought I'd upload it as I think it's safe to say she doesn't blog hop!

I've recently accumulated £35 of free merchandise for spending *cough* so much recently, so I thought I'd invest the money and buy "A Rose Is A Rose" as I've seen so many beautiful cards made with this stamp set.


Enjoy!

  3. Really beautiful, I'm sure it'll be loved by the lucky lady. When I first saw this stamp set in the catty I wasn't keen on it , but it's lovely stamped in soft colours like this.

  4. Lovely job Alex, I am in the middle of fiddling around with this set for a card ! £35 is sure some spending, but I am sure it was "essential" lol!! It's so easy isn't it ? So much lovely stuff and not nearly enough time or money!
    Have a great day, Hugs Sarah-Jane xx
