Peaky Blinders Birthday Card

It's my friend Val's birthday and she very much likes the TV series Peaky Blinders or should I say she very much likes the leading man. Again it's not something I watch but after some searching on Google about it I think I may have managed to make a card that captures the program...

 Apart from the obvious it's all computer generated with images not of my making so I take no credit for them. The backing paper was an image I found printed it in black and white and then used Tim Holtz's distress inks to add colour. Oh and the circle on the front of the box is from Tonic Studios.

Take care and keep smiling

Art Deco 30th Birthday Card

I remember saying once that Art Deco was too hard to do but now I've got used to it. I've found that the simpler it is the better it looks :)

 The glitter card I got from Laura-Lea on eBay
The silver embossed card, blue silk card and black satin mirri card (used on the cutout figure, yes the figure is all hand cut) and the die for the "30" from Tonic Studios.
The number 30 on the front of the card was hand cut.
Here are the original pictures that inspired the card
