For my daughter's 21st

 Dear bloggers,

Here is a card that I have put together for my older one's 21st birthday which is on the 19th. I am so grateful for the lovely human being she has turned out to be. In fact I learn so much from her. She is studying overseas and I am sure she will have a nice time with her friends. 

The pink polka dotted designer paper is a local brand from Singapore while the light pink printed paper is from my stash. I had won it almost 10 years ago in a lucky draw. 

The ribbon is from my stash as are the numbers. The little white nestie was embossed with the polka dots embossing folder to match it with the designer paper. The nesties were layered for more interest but on second thoughts may be I could have let the outermost layer be. My older one loves pink so I think she will like this card.

For a 21st Birthday

Hello sweet bloggers,

I am happy to be blogging again even though I am missing the excitement of being with friends and family... Zeenya is thrilled to be back in school and Aleeza still has another week to go before her school opens. 

Here is a commissioned card I made a while ago. The crinkled blue paper has sentimental value for me because Zeenya's art teacher in her former school taught me how to make it some six years ago and both Zeenya and I had loads of fun making it. I thought it was ideal for the effect of sea. Did some sponging and stuck more papers under the image to bring in more colour. Since it was a 21 year old who likes sailing. For some reason, the card looks warped in the picture but the person who ordered it really liked it. And that made me happy :-)

This is the back of the round punched shape stuck to the image with sewing thread rolled some five times to give it thickness.  I have stamped an anchor image from the same stamp set. I have used a clear image but cannot remember the name. Punched photo corners and two blue crystals complete the look.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

A commissioned card - for a 21st birthday

Hello lovely bloggers,

Belated Mother's Day greetings to all you sweet ladies out there...

I took my mum and two friends out for a movie  (Mirror, Mirror) along with my daughters and our visitor 

yesterday and everyone enjoyed that. It was Aleeza's first time in a movie hall and she seemed to handle it quite well even though it was not really meant for her... So I took her out of the hall and let her buy a dress she liked to lessen the negative impact of the movie on her. She seemed thrilled with that.

This card has been ordered for a 21 year old gal who likes bags... 

Don't know why I put a shoe image instead!!! Hopefully she will be happy with it.

The steel greyish blue paper is pearlized and I have glittered the shoe which is a clear stamp from Hero Arts. The gems are from my stash and so is the ribbon. The flower is a Sizzix die cut and it has been mounted on foam dots. At the bottom I have used my EK success border punch. I embossed the flower and one of the rectangular panels behind the shoe to give some texture. 21 has been handwritten with a metallic pen - wish it was more visible in the picture. Tried to make the card as flat as possible because it is going to be snail-mailed to the UK.

Will come and visit later on... Aleeza is just back from school!

Hugs and have a nice Monday,

Monica
