60th Birthday card a la Sue Wilson

Credit where credit is due. Love Sue Wilson’s style, she is so creative with her dies and layers. Had another go at the layered card she made here. As I was in a bit of a hurry (yeah another birthday I forgot – not doing so well this year!) I glittered some patterned paper rather than stamp my own and missed out the embossing step.

Because I’d figured it out once before this one went together pretty quickly (well it was the shortened version!). I have another card to make for a friend’s grandma (103 this year and still going strong) and guess what, I shall be doing this style again.  

Having read Sue’s instructions on how to do it I even managed to do the piercing around the edge. Now it’s not perfect but not too bad for a second attempt (the first one didn’t go so well……..!) and it does finish it off nicely. Papers and flowers from Craftwork cards Blush Rose collection – I even used the ‘waste’ to decorate the insides but forgot to photograph it.

Hope you like!!
