I know a few people who have birthdays after 20 December and this card is for one of them. It's got a wintry theme, but is actually a birthday card, so I've highlighted that with my sentiment.
I've followed a sketch by Sketch Saturday that caught my eye today. I wanted a layout that was clean and elegant, and I quite like it so may use it again! :0)

You are right about birthdays right near Christmas mines on the 22nd December and everyone is charging around to get ready for Christmas day restaurants are full of Christmas parties and my cards start arriving early December till early January. Its not a good time and this year we are going to a Wedding on my birthday!! Love and hugs Carole x

Firstly, Congrats on getting runner up in 2 crafter of the year competitions. Well done. I have done quite a bit of magazine work a few years ago. It's not easy when it comes to doing the text, to go with each picture. It used to take me hours just doing the text, in the right amount of words per image. Also getting good pictures. This card is super gorgeous. Colouring is as always, amazing. Hugs, Carol S.xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful coloring!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Annette.... and you're right, my daughter's birthday is Christmas Eve... and I learned early on to have her birthday party around 12th December to make it just for her!
