Make your own happiness!

Love this sentiment from Hero Arts.  Paired it with a stamp I picked up recently in Crafty Alley in Killarney.  It's a 2005 Hero Arts stamp that I inked up with distress inks, spritzed with water and had fun with!  I then coloured the pearls with copics to match the textured cardstock.

Happy 40th! Birthday

My SIL asked me to make some cards for her - so this is one I made for a friend's 40th.  Her friend is an Accountant and I think the paper is just perfect, it looks like an old maths test!.  It is from Cosmo Cricket (the boyfriend range).  I made a puffy vintage flower and used a Papertrey Ink button in Ocean Tides, tied with some embroidery floss.  Added some pale cream pearls and adhesive numbers that I picked up whilst living in the States.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you have a great day.
