Michele's 50th birthday bash blog hop

No automatic alt text available.

Hello and welcome to my blog on this ever so special occasion. Thanks so much Michele for inviting me to be a part of your special weekend, I feel so honoured to be amongst such talent!!

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MICHELE!!  Can I say that I'm not entirely convinced that Michele is turning 50 though!!

You should have arrived here from the ever so talented Kim Hamilton's blog but if you didn't, you can click HERE to take you to the start of the hop.

Next up on the hop is the lovely Shona Chambers.

Now for my card!  I popped it in the mail to Michele a few weeks ago just to make sure it arrived in time.
I stamped the flowers and leaves from "Pretty Posies" stamp set and coloured them with my zig real brush markers. I die cut them using the co-ordinating Fri-dies and arranged them on the top of my card panel.  I stamped the sentiment from "Shenanigans" stamp set in CP Midnight ink. Shenanigans is one of the first stamp sets I purchased from CAS-ual Fridays and it is still one of  my most used and loved sets.




For my next card I have used the WTF stamp set (retired but there is now a WTF 2) and paired it with the 50 from Flowercase.  I white heat embossed and sponged with my Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze ink pad.
I added a panel along the bottom using the Curtis background stamp (which I think is retiring)  and inked up with CP Midnight ink.




Thanks for looking, be sure to leave a comment to be in the running to win one of 5 $50 gift vouchers to use in the CAS-ual Fridays shop.

NEXT up is the lovely Shona Chambers.
