Today my little brother turns 51... This is the card I made and sent to him. He is 15 months younger than me and is living with my parents.... doesn't that sound funny.... actually he and his wife, 2 of their daughters and their grand-daughter share a house with my parents....all on the Gold Coast in Australia.
I enjoyed making this card as I really love using the Three Ferns stamp with Tim Holtz distress inks. I used 3 colours - aged Mahogany, Shabby shutters and Walnut stain to cover a cream coloured card. The ferns were stamped in the Aged Mahogany. I stamped the birthday sentiment with a Stampin Up! set ( when I was at Lei's place - borrowing Helen's stamp and punch) I edged it with the aged Mahogany as well.
Today I had a call and an email from my daughter as one of my Twitter posts made it onto the top 10 on one of the local radio stations. The Edge is a radio station geared to the younger set and several of my daughter's friends heard it and texted her to see if was me.... I think she was a little embarrassed that her Mum made it on the list... Mind you it wasn't a very exciting Tweet...
Tonight I have a commission to make a birthday card. So off to do that and make a card for Deborah's card chain. I have chosen to make a card following the sketch. I have to get it already to go before we leave on holiday on Friday morning.
Thanks for stopping by and as always I appreciate any and all comments left. Take care
