Birthday Wishes Red & Brown card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi everyone,

I hope it's warming up where you are, most of you have the opposite seasons to us here in Australia, here it's cooling down and quickly! We're due to have a month's worth of rain in just 4 days.

Onto my latest card, I've created this one with a Saturated Canary image, isn't she beautiful, her name is Zoe I think. 

I gave my sister a die cutting lesson the other day and while doing so I discovered the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and dies do actually cut through material! I was very excited about this so I tried it with my brown hessian and voila, I love how it turned out. I have also used some cork paper as backing paper and experimented with punching out some butterflies and they worked too, my lucky day hehe!!

I have used some latte pearls and antique gold pearls from my company, Flourish with a Bling who are having free worldwide postage, see below for details.

Flourish with a Bling have free shipping on all orders over $20AUD for the month of April! This includes Australia and worldwide! No matter how large the order, there's no postage cost.
