For someone special............................

here is the birthday card I made for our daughters birthday in August....................

 

 

 

made with her namesakes die from Tonic................................which was trimmed and joined to make the scroll along the top of the card..............

 

 

 

 

and a co-ordinating book.....................................using the die in full with a shadow of soft gold card shadow behind.......................

 

 

 

 

 

just a cheapish Kraft style book - just waiting to be dressed up...............................

 

 

the inspiration for the book came from  Rebecca's Cards  posted 4th August...............who makes the most amazing cards with hand stitched papers and lots of embellishments but always just the right amount......................she had trimmed a book up very similar to this and I just thought how lovely it looked and decided if I saw something similar then I would have a go........................well fate or what I'm not sure, I was shopping the following week in our local Sainsbury's and saw this version of the book and into the shopping trolley it went........................ Emily can put photos in or anything she wants. 

 

I enjoyed making it and hopefully she will enjoy using it.................................
