About a week ago it was our lovely daughter's birthday. I never did get round to doing the big blog post I had threatened you all with following her wedding in May (I sort of got overtaken by less happy family matters but enough of that) but here's a few photos of what she described as her Perfect Day.
With her new Hubby (note the broken foot!)
With her Dad. I love how happy she looks.
Little Isabella had to get in on the act here.
And now here's the card I made for her birthday. The photos aren't brilliant as I was late finishing it and had to rush the pics before shooting off up the A1 to deliver it in person. It would have been much cheaper to post, lol!
I used another of the gorgeous Prima masks which I bought from Chocolate Baroque recently and the sentiment is one of my favourites from CB too. The lovely main image is from Indigo Blu and called Ella Bella.
I used Versamagic inkpads to blend over the mask to create the background and followed this with some overstamping of a pretty swirly image, again from Chocolate Baroque. I forgot to make a note of which stamp set it is from but I'm sure it was from one of the recently released ones. I then stamped Ella Bella using an Onyx Black Versafine inkpad.
Finally I spritzed with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist before arranging the flowers and leaves cut with Crealies dies, again from Chocolate Baroque.
Jenna said she loved her card ............ but then she would say that, wouldn't she, lol!
I hope you've all had a good day today. I'm looking forward to a couple of nice weather days to get my washing basket emptied. Mind you, that will only add more to the ironing pile, lol!
As always, thank you for taking the time to visit. I do appreciate it.
Hugs

EDIT Just a little message to my Twitter friends. Whilst downloading some photos from my mobile phone last week I installed some updates. Biiig mistake as it's changed everything round on my phone and I don't like it :( but the main problem is it's completely deleted Twitter and I can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping my more technologically minded Son will be able to sort it for me this weekend but until then I'm not ignoring you and I'll be back soon I hope. Xx

Oh Lesley. How lovely to see some Wedding photos at last. They look a very handsome, happy couple don't they. I can't believe it was May, only seems to have been a couple of months ago that you were telling us all about it.
The card you created is just stunning. I love these Indigoblu stamps and have had to resist them so far, not sure for how much longer though!! The flower spray over the top is amazing. You are one clever lady. I'm not surprised she loved it. I hope you all had a really happy day despite the weather!!
Enjoy the weekend.

Your card is absolutely stunning with the flower spray over the striking silhouette. The background is glorious with the soft colouring against the white & then really brought into focus with the boldness of the silhouette & the greenness of those leaves.
Your husband looks so proud in the second photo & you daughter - as you say - extremely happy.
It brought back memories of my own wedding & of my own family.
Take care with your computer bits.
