A couple of family cards


It was my aunts birthday yesterday so I made this card for her, I can't seem to get enough of this image can I!!! I sooo love the large sized flowers too and the basic grey paper pads, I think I need more!!! I struggled with the heart quite a bit, it's been three different colours but I was eventually happy with the colour I chose and then I put glossy accents over the top, doesn't really show up in the scan does it!



Then its my uncle's birthday next week so I made this card, it's decoupage but it doesn't really show (what's new!!!) but I wanted to use this image as he's got a narrow boat which he practically rebuilt and he loves it so I hope this card will make him smile!
