Everlasting Circles

Good Morning All
Thank you for visiting 
Today is dreary, so a great excuse for crafting. I really must make birthday cards for my OH and SIL for next weekend!
I was so excited to win a set of Sue's dies and my favourite concept too I'm still doing a happy dance and may even go to Salsa tonight!
Michele - yes feel free to use Thursday's idea I'd be flattered

Well done to Jackie and Brenda too

Today's card was easy. I amazed myself at how relatively easy it was to line up the Striplet to make a continuous background and I just had to buy that Happy Birthday die after seeing Hazel's (I think it was Hazel) creation on her or Sandra's blog I can't back track and find it to do a link! I gilded the piece of card before I cut out Happy Birthday


I'll do other versions of this in more delicate colours and bling it with a few flowers or a butterfly. What do you think

Ingredients
Black card 
Sue Wilson Everlasting Circles Striplet
Crafts Too Happy Birthday die
Double sided adhesive sheet
CE Gilding Flakes (can't remember name because I'd decanted it all into a plastic box

  1. Hi Karen - first of all a BIG congrats on winning SW dies - not surprised you are doing a 'happy dance' love your card and love the gilding flakes -once I dared to use them I was away as I love the effect it creates and like you think this is probably my favourite Striplet die as you can quite easily create a background with it so a bit more versatile xx enjoy your weekend & salsa if you go xx GailT xx

  2. Hii Karen,
    I like this card, and the design is just perfect for men, and with a bit of girly frou frou it's be ideal for the girls.

  8. Great design Karen. I'm just thinking how many looks you could get from this with a colour change. It's a really good "go to" starting point
    Cheers

  9. Hi Karen
    Yes, it was a treat seeing yours and Jackie's name on Sue's list. Enjoy your prize!
    Love what you have done with this card. The die cut going into the embossing is a great idea. Haven't used my gilding flakes for an age so perhaps I should get em out.
    Best wishes.
