Last week it was my lovely friend Charlie’s birthday and I wanted to make her a handmade card so that it was more personal and special. To be honest I really struggle to find cards that are just a little bit different in high street shops. And, well it’s not like I don’t have a ton of crafty goodness hanging around the studio now is it!?
After all, Happiness is Handmade.
It also meant I got to play around with my old scrapbook supplies as well, which I miss doing as I am having a year off the commitment of ‘scrapbooking the everyday’ to launch this blog and my future creative biz. So happiness all round I would say and I wanted to show you all what I created as I was pretty darn chuffed with it.
I love love love doilies so this was my starting point. They add a really subtle prettiness, especially when paired with pearls!
I then wanted to add a real pop of colour and this docrafts® Papermania paper flower from their ‘Capsule Collection’ was just the trick and had a pre-made hole in the centre that was just crying out for a pastel pink brad.
