Morning and I made a birthday card for youngest son who was 35yrs on Thursday-pretty obvious he likes white wine and plays guitar.
I made a stepper card and used stamps from AALL&Create and the bottles of wine and glasses stamps and dies were a craft mag freebie a few years ago,Tonic die-cut sentiment and papers were called Bittersweet Heights.Memory Box bubble die and glossy accents on glasses-looks so washed out due to light -must have taken at least 15 pics in different places and still not happy with best of the lot-never mind-it is what it is!

Hi Carol
ReplyDeleteApologies for not being around for a while but I am only just recovering from a really nasty cough and cold. Hope you are keeping well.
Great stepper card, your design makes a fabulous masculine card, although I can think of one or two people it would suit more than others! Really lovely layout and perfect backing papers.
