Happy Birthday Carol...


Today Carol, one of the DT at the Pink Elephant is celebrating a rather special birthday. I'm not saying which one, but look at the card for a huge clue!! Sorry Carol - I do hope I'm not in big trouble for this!
To make Carol's card I experimented with the idea of using shredded paper again in a similar way to how I used it on one of my Easter cards. This time I wanted to create a sort of gift bag card with stuff spilling out of the top.
I hope Carole likes it and anyone else visiting my blog does too! If you'd like to find out exactly how I made the card pop over to the Pink Elephant as it's Tu-Tu Tutorial day over there. This week it was my turn to do the tutorial and I based it on this 'Gift Bag' card.

That's a cracker card Ann.
I'm sure Carol will be chuffed to bits when she receives it ... but not sure how she'll react now that you've broadcast her milestone LOL!
Could be slapped legs for you.

Luv'n'Stuff
