Crowning Affair Birthday Card

Whilst I was on holiday in Lanzarote, I was struck by the beautiful colours of the flowers and plants there in contrast to the browns of the volcanic landscape. 

As soon as I got home, I was eager to create a card using these colours and found that the Trimcraft Dovecraft Crowning Affair paper pad was perfect. I combined my chosen papers with a kraft card blank and rounded the corners.

I deliberately kept the card simple- all I have added is a ribbon, a sentiment and a flower die cut from the paper pad with a large gem in the centre.

Products used:

Trimcraft Dovecraft Crowning Affair 6 x 6 Paper Pad

First Edition Flower Die

Crowning Affair

I am off on holiday tomorrow so won't be posting for a little while. Before I go, I wanted to share these cards I made recently using Trimcraft Dovecraft Crowning Affair papers. These papers are beautifully designed in fabulous colours and, best of all, come from the value range.

The first card has a tropical feel. The flamingo and sentiment stamp are, like the fish stamp, from the set free with this month's Creative Stamping magazine. I have coloured this one with Spectrum Aqua markers. The flowers are punched using a Tonic punch and the card finished with lots of gems and a bright pink ribbon.

I would like to enter this card into the Crafting Musketeers Challenge Blog Challenge #27 Anything Goes.

My second card is an anniversary card for my husband. We have been married for 8 yrs on 21st July and we will be celebrating it on our first sunny holiday abroad since our honeymoon.

It is a more simple card- I have just layered papers and die cut hearts using X Cut Nesting Dies. The four hearts represent our family, the two of us and our 2 sons. The sentiment was created in CraftArtist 2 and printed on card.

Thanks for popping by. Hope you all have a great week x
