Birthday Card for my Boss


Here is a card I made for my Boss who's birthday it is tomorrow. This will be the first time she will have seen my handmade cards as I work at a marketing company and she is so good I have always been a bit shy to show her. Silly I know but I have only been there a year and felt a bit embarrassed about showing her as she is so good at what she does and I have never felt that my cards were good enough. I have decided to bite the bullet though and make her one and hope that she likes it as much as I have enjoyed making it. I used the Wedding solutions cartridge to cut the shoe out by welding the shapes together in design studio. I then mounted the shoe onto the front of the card so that the shoe opens to show her name. I then cut out a couple of flourishes, added some bling and a sentiment to the inside and voila.

I thought you may also like to see the scrapbook page I made at my crop today. I know it is using lilac again (can you tell I like Lilac) but I thought they went so well with the colour of Benn's bruise.



Thanks for looking.
