60th Birthday Card

Well today has been a craft-free day.  Not really through choice but houswork was calling to me.  I am usually very good at ignoring the call but felt I really had to do something!  I did manage to incorporate tidying my craft room though!  Of course, when I say craft room, it's actually only half a room really because it is our guest bedroom so my craft table shares the room with a double bed settee (now if I could only find an excuse to remove the bed settee ....)  But hubby did put shelves into the wardrobe for me so that helps a bit!  By the time I had sorted out all my nesties (again) and my stamps (again) etc. etc.  the day was gone!
So tonight I thought I would share a card that I made for my cousin's 60th birthday in June.  It was the first time I had tried the coredinations card, and also my first go at making paper roses.  Someone asked for a photograph of the roses so I took this one.  Typically, I forgot to take a pic of the finished card and box, although the only addition to the card before posting was a small peel-off sentiment across the bottom of it, and the insert.


I used the Spellbinders rose border die down the side, and a cuttlebug embossing folder for the central panel.  The oval is white centura pearl card.

Thankyou for calling in.
