Happy Birthday !

Good Morning!

After a few days of Christmas cards I thought I'd give you a little light relief with something following a different theme! I've gone back to a Clean & Simple style and created a Birthday card. The gorgeous twinkly embellishments were a gift from one of my card making friends, as soon as I saw them I knew they'd have to be the main focus on a card!

INGREDIENTS - 

Penny Black Stamp

Sparkly Embellishments by Prima

INKS USED -

Archival Ink - Watering Can

On the subject of Birthday's I may have had a little Crafty splurge this week ...  my excuse is that it was my Birthday last week! lol Now I just need more hours in the day so I can have a play!
