Happy Birthday


Well once again it's mid month and I'm way behind sharing a few cards.... BUT...   I do have a good excuse, we've had a number of visitors venturing north away from the cold of winter but mostly my MUM is here at the moment... we've not seen each other for 4 years, and it has been absolutely wonderful to spend some precious time together (she's 91) and I can't believe she hopped on a plane by herself to come up here.  We both are crafty people so we've spent a bit of time crocheting....


  • Stamped the flower & leaves (Papermania; Build a Rose set) in smokey greay Versafine and water coloured with Distress Ink, then fussy cut them out
  • Die cut the hexagon from white card (Avery Elle: pierced hexagon)
  • Embossed the hexie with Darice EF - Flower Pod Background and blended Shabby Shutters DO over the raised areas
  • Stamped the sentiment (unknown) with black Versafine on white card strip
  • Folded matching burnt orange card and measured out a larger card shape around the embossed panel
  • Attached all the elements with foam dots

Thanks for stopping by my blog.... hope you're having a wonderful time too,   Cheers Robyn

  5. Your Mother looks and sounds amazing! Look at her go with the crochet hook. Robyn, you are one lucky lady.
    I don't know what happened, but I have not received any of you posts for a good while now. I guess I will resubscribe. Don't have a clue what the problem has been.

    Very pretty card - embossing with gold and then painting is new for me but I find I really enjoy doing it. Your painting is wonderful -- can't get over how well you fussy cut that flower out!

    Well I am off to see what all I missed on your blog!
