50th Birthday

Hi all
Here is a card I made for my husbands 50th birthday which was on Friday.

 
 I used a combination of  cardstock  from my stash and parchment using the Groovi system.
The sentiment I created on my computer and cut out with Justrite die vintage labels three and backed in brown card die cut with the
 botanical swirls die.

A brown ribbon hides the join between both the different colours and brown candi completes the card

This was his birthday cake we had a fantastic day -we went to one of our daughters for a BBQ with the rest of the family.

Groovi Parchment

Hi all


This weeks posts is my first attempt at parchment craft using  the Clarity Groovi system

I teamed the parchment with Sue Wilson's Noble range of dies and the flowers are from SW Camellia sets
I must admit I did make a mistake on a couple of pieces of parchment.  As you work on the reverse, and everything is backwards I did emboss a q instead of a p so instead of  binning it (i'm too tight through anything away!!) I  ran it through my Grand Calibur with CE star swirls embossing folder and it became my background. I was rather please with the result

I  used the Groovi  butterfly wreath which shows  my first ever attempt at this craft. I then decided to have a play with the white embossing and colouring. It's not good enough to create anything with. But I will definitely keep it to refer to.



Thanks for popping by, it would be wonderful if you had time to leave a comment.
