Rachel's birthday card

It's my daughter's birthday this week and this is the card I've made for her, a la Wendi Vecchi.  I used 7 Gypsies paper to mount onto card, then pearl TSS Studio metal, sprayed with different colours of Glimmer Mists.  The heart is again TSS in Barn Red, and then popped a bit of ribbon round.  The flower is grunge paper, coloured with fired brick and then added a couple of sentiments.

It's a beautiful day here in sunny North Sheffield, I've washed everything in sight and it's all drying nicely on the line, I just love to see it all blowing gently in the breeze.  Pity I feel so rough that I can't go out and enjoy the sun.  Hope you are all enjoying today.
