Handmade 18th Birthday Card

Here's another 18th birthday card, this time in green shimmery card with vintage green patterned paper overlays with tattered and torn edges.  
I've embellished it with hearts, flowers, buttons and bows and even tied a tiny silver 'Coming of Age' key to the number 1.

 There's a panel of vintage linen green tattered paper inside to write a special message on.
This is now in my wowthankyou shop

...and some in a paler denim with stripey pink and green bunting ...

...and some in a beige heavy fabric with mixed pattern bunting...

3 weeks? Sorry...

Hard to believe that the last three weeks have gone by and I haven't blogged once.  Life hasn't been busy, but it has been fun!  Both the men in my life had a birthday (that's my husband and my son, sharing the same birthday).  Hubby had a week off work and we spent most of time doing whatever we wanted to do.  The one day we chose to stay at home and do nothing also happened to be the worst day for weather so that worked out well for us.  And we've had a wonderful Diamond Jubilee extra long weekend to make us all proud to be British.  Top that all off with the half term break and weather to warrant the building of an ark and that's where most of my time has been.
I have still been tickling my craft supplies and producing little items but haven't had the light (or the sense in my head) to take any reasonable photo's.  But just to prove I've been up to something, here's a trio of shots of an 18th card I made for my daughter's friend...


...and this last  photo shows the pink heart covered wallpaper envelope too!
