Shabby Chic Umbrella Birthday Girl (The Greeting Farm image)




Hi Crafty Friends,

 I haven't created a card with this image from The Greeting Farm for a long time so thought now Autumn challenges were about, this little girl with her umbrella is perfect for this time of year. 

 I have been raiding any old clothes for zippers at the moment and this is the first time I've used one but I like it. I tore the paper so it kind of (hopefully hehe) looks like the zip goes up and down. I have used pearls and flourishes from Flourish with a Bling. Can you see the little kitty cat under the sentiment, isn't he sweet, I bought him at a craft show.

(my first card created with this image - the tree, leaves, cloud, raindrops and toadstools are all from Flourish with a Bling)

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.

    Hi, Lucy! So many things I love about this card! My favourite is the little kitty - that is so sweet! I didn't see it at first glance so I'm glad you mentioned it! What a fantastic idea for the old zipper! I'll have a look around for old zippers too! I like that you showed your previous project - that one is awesome too! Always a pleasure to visit your blog!

    Hi Lucy, two of your three entries were in moderation, but I messed up last night when trying to fix things and I put the next challenge linky on the wrong post - and your cards are sat in Sunday's challenge in error, totally my fault. I won't approve them there, please could you come and add them again? I need it tested to see if I have fixed it today, and I can't test it myself.

    Hugs,
