Floral Birthday Card

I'm finally feeling good to get back into the swing of

card making. I was ill last week, I think Christmas 

got the better of me. What a stressful time of the year!

 I made this card with an assortment of dies, pearls,

glitter glue and designer paper.

The flower is made from tissue paper, I found the 

instructions on this demo , it gives a better texture, I think!

My new year's resolution is not to get carried away with

buying so many dies. I sorted out my collection last night,

what a shock!
