Happy Birthday Card

I painted this tag using my favourite Altenew flower stamp. First I white embossed on a scrap of watercolour paper and then painted with my Kuratake watercolours using blues and the shimmery white which left a beautiful sparkle on the flowers..

Leaves in two tones of green. Once finished I die cut with the stitches die.

I just poked a hole in the top and threaded thru about eight fine silver threads twisted

together. Once I had tied it off it was too light in weight and drifted everywhere. I was

going to twist again and glue then decided to use the little blue misshaped beads. Each

bead is hanging off one thread that I just put a single knot in thinned of.

Decided I use a blue cardbase and apiece of vellum with the white swirl

pattern on it. I cut the vellum so it was the same size as the front of the

card and hung slightly over the top of the card so I could attached from behind.

I decided to attached the vellum at an angle so the card base could be seen as well.

Attached the tag onto the vellum, twisted the silver thread and attached

 at the side just under the tag so the tape wasn't visible. This made a beautiful

Birthday Card for mum to give to a friend. Left without a sentiment on the outside as

it was busy enough as it was.
