A 'Sweet' Birthday Card!

Today I'm showing you a card that I wasn't going to blog because I'm really not happy with it.  I had an idea in my mind and tried to run with it, but unfortunately I don't think I executed it all that well! :(

This card is for another little friend of Maddisons!  Her birthday is in 2 weeks, but because I'll be busy making costumes for Brocks Rock Pop and Wakakirri performances in the coming days, I thought I'd get a head start on it rather than leaving it till the last minute.  I have a sneaking suspician though, had I left it till the last minute.......I might have been happier with it! lol

Anyhooooo what's done is done, here's what I made!


I only used a couple of colours for this card, those being Melon Mambo, Baja Breese, Kraft and White!

The stamp set is a Papertrey Ink set - actually it's a mix of two different sets!  I can't get into my cupboard at the moment to give you names, but I'll try and pop back in later and add those details!

Hope you like it.......even though I'm not fussed on it! lol

As someone who hasn't seen the idea in your head, I love it.The colours are fab, it's pretty and a cute idea. Don't tell the recipient that your not happy as they're sure to love it.
