Chris's birthday

Yesterday I went out for an evening meal with a group of ex work colleagues - 
and it will be one of their birthdays on the 12th - Christine - yes it's another Chris -
 I seem to be surrounded by Chris's and Christines!! 
I took this card for her to open on the 12th - she doesn't blog so won't see it before then!!


I took this photo just before I went  to meet up last night so the light was really bad,
 so the colours don't look true.  I used the new In colour Raspberry Ripple and Whisper White 
as the colour Combo.  I used the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions embossing folder.
I stamped the large flower from Betsy's Blossoms stamp set.  and then punched out a smaller flower
 from this using the Blossom punch and stamped then cut out the smaller flower- again from 
Betsy's Blossoms.  The sentiment is from Curly Cute.  Obligatory bling - Basic Rhinestones
used for centre of flower and either side of greeting.
Happy Birthday Christine!!
