Couple of cards for orders

The first one is a liverpool de coupage layed on some red and white card the corners are punched with my new inverted corner punch. The happy birthday is stamped.

This second one is for an 80th birthday , I cut the shape from a template. I embossed some lilac coredinations whitewash card with my daisy folder and then sanded it so the flowers are lilac, I then covered the rest with white chalk so it shimmers and added silver dots to the middle of the flowers with a gel pen. The hapy birthday is a peel off as are the flowers and butterflys these have been stuck on some lilac mulberry paper and cut out with some lilac gems in the middle of the flowers and then raised from the card with foam squares. You can see the deatil a bit better in this second photo.
