Marlene's birthday card

Well we're battening down the hatches here, waiting on Storm Eowyn to hit later tonight. It's all getting a bit scary, with workplaces and schools closed and government red alerts issued to stay home tomorrow. So we'll not be going too far!

I've a wee birthday card to share this evening using a new stamp from Gina K.  It took an age to colour but I love how it turned out!  I added some clear gloss to the flowers just to make them stand out a bit and the a wee gem for the flower centres.

Time Out #280 - favourite thing to do - well it's too damp and dark to be out in the garden so the next best thing is to colour!  Even as a child one of my favourite things to get at Christmas was a colouring book! I'm convinced that's why I love card making so much, I'm just embracing my inner child 😉

As You Like It - gems or pearls - I prefer gems as they're flatter for mailing, and come in loads of colours so I always have some that suit
