Happy Birthday Loll

I know Loll has received her card so I can now post her card - Happy Birthday Loll.

I used the "crusty bits" off my gelli plate (inspired by one of Tracey Evans Facebook videos) to make the background 😊 and a stamp set from AALL and Create.
Crusty bits are all those dry specks of paint left after making your prints, you can pull them off with a fresh coat of light (white, grey) acrylic paint. They have such an organic look and I love all those specks of colour


I know Loll always finds beauty in everyday, we see it in her cards.

What a thoughtful card design for Lolly, Christine! It's really amazing and filled with lots of great details for the eyes! Sadly, with the way the mails are working (or not working), she'll be getting my card around the middle of August. It'll be a lovely surprise, lol! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell

I just love the eclectic style of this! Just WOW! What a delightful card for Loll. I do love the way you design and that print is just amazing. How sad that we can never create the same background twice since that one is a keeper.
