happy 70th!

Hi Peeps! forgive my missing in action around blogland, facebook etc.  I'm battling with ill health inconveniences at the moment.  I have tried being crafty but what with my mojo taking a break & my health not having the energy to go looking for it, well, things have been much of a standstill..

Hey ho, onwards & upwards, huh?!

I have managed in past couple of days, to create this card which I am sharing for all to see! Some may already recognise where I got my inspiration from, but if not, then I will tell you.  I follow a lovely, talented lady who blogs & youtube's her makes & has a wonderful way of 'teaching' her card craft.  Her name is Christina and she is from flowersribbonsandpearl & Card-making-magic.com.  She has a gentle way of explaining & teaching what she has learnt along the way.  I am in awe of her designs & wanted to create a card very similar to her designs.  My measurements are not the same as Christina's, I think this was a 6 x 4 size hinged-card blank I created & all my layers were measured out and not one die was used in the layers although you can see I have used the lattice die cut from Spellbinders & also the Spellbinders decorative label 28 die cut topper at the front of card.  I really like the way Christina also embosses the inside of her card & adds matching ribbon too; for my inside of card, I did the same & added another label 28 die cut over my verse.  I was really pleased how this card turned out. 

 Here's a side view where you can see the embossing & verse.

I made a matching box to present the card in.  The card & box were both made from Centura Pearl card.

So, there's my little make & I so hope the recipient likes her card!

Just want to say thank you to Christina for her lovely blog & tutorials & for the enjoyment I have reading, watching & learning from her.

Until next time,
