Happy Friday to those of you who have finished work for the weekend and for those who don't get the weekend off I hope you have a pleasant two days work. I'm also hoping the weather is going to cheer up a wee bit for us all. It's been very mild here with a high of 17c today but we've also had quite a bit of rain again.
Anyway, to get back on track, yesterday was my favourite Daughter's (I only have the one, lol) birthday so I thought I'd share the card I made for her.
It was a simple and relaxing card to make using stamps from the Jo Firth-Young range at PaperArtsy. The spikey flowers which I love are from JOFY14 set and the words are from JOFY11.
Everything was stamped using Onyx Black Versafine ink and I chose a selection of words (there are others on the set too) to make the sentiment I wanted, cut them out and added them to the card with foam pads to give a bit of dimension.
I used Derwent Coloursoft pencils on the spikey flowers.
I'm looking forward to seeing Jenna (and her family) on Sunday afternoon for a few hours as OH and I are off up the A1 for tea with them all. It will be cuddles all round ;D!
Have a smashing weekend everyone and till next time ...................
Hugs

This looks delightful with use of the VersaFine Onyx Black crispness contrasted with the Coloursoft brilliance. Have a super family time.
