Birthday card

suz2011sml

It will soon be Suzanne’s birthday and I have spent the last few days wondering what card to make for her.  I have hundreds of stamps and loads of ink pads and embellishments but I have kind of lost my mojo a bit.  Never mind – Craft stamper mag. to the rescue again!
In the May 2010 issue Katy Fox did an article on Re-use Re-cycle to make a mini album.  I used her design and colour scheme with a few tweaks of my own to make this card.  I have tried to capture the shimmer effect but sadly it just looks shiny in the photo rather than pink shimmer.  The photo it taken against a dark brown background.
