A very Special card!

Howdy girlies!!!

Now before you say I've seen this card!!

Yes you have, well the front panel anyway!

It was my friend Caz's special 40th Birthday in the week and I had decided to make her an extra special keepsake.

Unfortunately me being me decided to make it at 9.30 the evening before the big day!! so to save myself a little time I decided to use part of a card I had made previously for the front image and then followed the same colourway to complement the rest which is a box card or is it a book card?

Using my favourite Kraft card of course

It certainly looks like one from a side view and they are so easy to make !

If I can do it on my first attempt anybody can lol x

I have used the martha stewart patp cherish punch - love it!!
As you open the ribbons this is what is inside a lovely accordian style frame, unfortunately you can't see all the glitter on the frame from these pics they are slightly blurred -sorry!

I have used lots of dies, a magnolia lace border, marianne doilly die, SU sizzix embossed butterflies and flower die.
Lastly this is the back of the special card using a magnolia lacy tag die and more of those lovely butterflies.

I first saw one of these cards on Rach's blog and she had kindly linked to the tutorial she made hers from, you really must give it a go they are fun to make and a real wow factor.

I did say to Caz well now you've seen it can I have it back ?

I was joking of course and the answer was no so i guess i will just have to make another!

I will be entering it into the following challenges

just magnolia = lace real or faux

paper sundaes = birthday

sentimental sundaes = handmade flowers

magnolia down under = favourite (Kraft card)

stamp something = anything goes

http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ = punches or die cuts

Well that's it from me have been busy decorating painted the room one colour and then decided "Nah no likey!!!"

So off to B&Q for me next pot and started all over again !!
