Time to share

Hello to all you crafty people out there

I think it is about time to share one of my creations 


A simple swirly birthday card 

I was inspired by the patterned paper with the shades of green 

I cut the hearts out with the fabulous bigshot ~♡it 
I then embossed the white card with a stunning swirling pattern I then sponged the swirls with a dark green ink and outlined with a silver gel pen 

I love the way the card turned out now just waiting for a birthday to come up 

Thank you for visiting

Both of these ladies are members of Stampin' Up UK
