For my DT card I have used a a fab  digi image from Time For Tea Designs one of our lovely sponsors for this week. I chose lilac as my colour and used paper from the Henbury Lane  pad  by Papermania. Spellbinders die and a Marianne butterfly die. I was really pleased with the result, especially as I usually load my cards with embellishments and and papers this made a refreshing change for me.

A Sunny Birthday....

Hello crafty friends !
 This card was a commission for a 60th Birthday. I wanted to share this one to show how easy it is to customize an image and make it POP.... just by adding a flower on top of the stamped image of the same type of flower it becomes a 3D object on your card.  I'm sure you all have suitable flowers in your stash, so why not have a rummage round and see what you can come up with by matching them to your stamped images. 

Here is a close up of the sunflower




And below is the image used in another card without the flower added.


You can purchase the image here at LOTV, I think he's the cutest .......

Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'll be back soon with another commissioned card, this time for a Priest.
