Today is Nonni's birthday - korttikarkuri - and I'm sure loads of you out in blog land know her gorgeous work. If not then you're missing a treat - pop on over and have a look at all her inspiration.
The lovely Sandie of London Days has been kind enough to organise this surprise linky Birthday Party for Nonni so when you've finished her pop on over to Sandie's blog to see all the other cards. The linky will be open from 5 am GMT today until 5 am on 12th September.........so if you fancy joining in please post on your blog and then link up via Sandie's blog.
Here's what I made for Nonni - and hopefully she's received it safely over in Finland!!!
I have cased my friend Anne's card that she made for my birthday and another few that I've seen around blog land..........couldn't resist getting this die set as it looks stunning. It's Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants Fleur De Lis. The centre panel is made up of 9 separate die cuts on matching cardstock which is layered onto light blue embossed mirri card. I've used dies from the same set for the corners, the sentiment is computer generated and the flowers are from my stash. The flourish is Simon Says Stamp! Harrington Vine and I've added some liquid pearls to finish off.
Hope you have a lovely birthday Nonni.
Happy crafting.
