How excited am I! Today is the birthday of my London Bestie, Sandie from London Days. I was so lucky to have visited with Sandie last month and had an amazing time that I will never forget.
Nonni and Lynn have put together a Surprise Birthday Linky Party for Sandie and everyone is invited to play along.
When this post goes live, I will have been back in Australia only for a few hours. I have scheduled this post while in Spain. I was lucky to have some crafting time with Florence so I was able to put something together especially for Sandie.
Happy Birthday Sandie. I hope you like my card!
The background stamp is from Chocolate Baroque. I wanted to make 'London' stand out (to symbolise my time spent with Sandie) so I masked off that word with a piece of post-it note and inked up the stamp in black. Then I removed the masked and inked up the word with red.
See the London bus all popped up in its glory? That is a beautiful stamp which is part of a set that the gorgeous Valerie gave me when we (Sandie included) met up in London. That day was so wonderful meeting all those ladies from around our blogging community.
If you would like to join in on the festivities, you can pop on over to Nonni's blog where the link up is provided. I'm sure Sandie will LOVE to see your cards!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY FRIEND XX
Thank you hon and this card is so perfect for me! I love it and it arrived right on time. I didn't know about my linky party and it isn't live yet but I am so touched! Hope the journey home was o.k and speak to you soon xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Kylie. Love how you placed the bus on the background. The Background Stamp isn't one of Chocolate Baroques. It is from Creative Expressions.
