A Sweet Birthday

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, quite an Indian Summer here in Northern Ireland, we even managed a BBQ on Saturday!

 I made this pretty birthday card for my sister who was going on holiday to celebrate her special day, I wanted to give her some euros to treat herself while she was away.  I folded an A4 sheet of whisper white to make a pocket inside, this also hides where the ribbon is glued. The sentiment is from a lovely set called Cycle Celebration (page 10 of main catalogue). The ribbon is a retired one in Old Olive satin. I used the speckled stamp from Gorgeous Grunge (page 109 of the catalogue) beneath the flowers.  This is a great stamp set for adding a little something to a card, will make great snow effects for my Christmas cards!
Below is a photo of the inside of the card showing the pocket. I didn't stamp a sentiment inside, just a pansy, as I wanted to leave the space to write a little note. I also added a strip of Polka Dot Parade dsp in Old Olive.

         That's all for now folks

    I'm loving your fabulous blog Sharon and it's a real treat to see some of your amazing projects. The wreath and the autumnal gift set you've made took my breath away and I should think your sister was delighted with her little gift card too! Take care and look forward to catching up with you at Convention, Vicky x
