When I got an order for a 40th Birthday card I thought it would fit perfectly. The image comes with a sentiment that say's TGIF (Thank God I'm Fabulous!) but I opted to make my own sentiment to fit in with the age.
Easel cards seem very popular with the ladies at the bowls club and I confess to enjoying making them!Once again I used a flower made by Maureen and the purple pearly topped hat pin was a present from Maureen too (I think she's been having another clear out!!!LOL).
The starry paper and the striped paper were both matted onto purple DCWV cardstock and stitched together. I coloured the image with promarkers and added some liquid pearls for the bracelets. The flourishes were coloured with 'Orchid' and a bit of glitter rubbed over it for some bling. Lilac organza ribbon from my stash.
(Anyone any tips (apart from using pinking scissors) to stop organza fraying please?)
I made a white box to protect the card and just added some of the paper and an organza bow to the box top to tie it all together.
Am entering this into the following challenges -
Fab n Funky - Purple Haze
Penny's Paper Crafting - Happy Birthday
Digital Tuesday - Bling it On

This is a great card, so fun and the colours are great! Thanks for joining our purple haze challenge this week at Fab N funky!
Lovely Job. To stop ribbons fraying I use a lighter or candle flame, to gently melt the ends.... takes a bit of practice to get it perfect and have never tried it on organza
