Happy Birthday Mum!


'Hope you enjoyed your day! I didn't want to post this until after the real post.  So I should be safe now.



Talking of post, I just received this die in time to make my card and I love the lacy effect it gives.  I left it in place while I used my distress inks around the image, Glossy Accents for the hooves, Stickles for the butterfly trails & flower petals, with a sparkly gem centre to finish.

  8. Hi Grá, thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment on my blog.
    To answer your question about the amount of ink used when printing out backing papers; I only print out a few, but yes they do use lots of ink but it is worth it sometimes when looking for a particular colour and you don't have it in stock!
    Your card is beautiful, love the die. Good thing it arrived on time.
