Ruth's Birthday Card

Hello

It's another Lockdown Monday and it's quite sunny, but very windy and as the pollen count is really high it's the kind of day I really don't enjoy one bit.

 After the lovely weather we've enjoyed over the last week and especially on VEday75 - we had a lovely neighbourly afternoon on Friday, along with all our close-by neighbours we spent the afternoon in our front garden, or strolling by the other gardens to chat and see what they had to eat and drink!
This lovely group of neighbours not only all go out every Thursday to applaud the keyworkers and check all are well, but we've also taken to having a Sunday lunchtime Drinks o'Clock too.  It's a quiet road so fine for us all to stand around the paths and road for a chatting  at a suitable distance from each other, but the odd car or other person passing by must wonder what's going on!
Even yesterday when it was decidedly chilly we were all out there albeit with mugs of tea and coffee rather than the wine and cold drinks we've had at other times!

Anyway, back to my catch up of things crafty
Today I'm sharing a birthday card which I made for my lovely friend Ruth, who is also a member of our Handmade happy Birthday club on Facebook.  I've actually made it into April for this week's catch up card!

Smooth White card blank.Stencilled randomly with pink, aqua and lime green inks and Kaleidoscope stencil from The Crafters Workshop
Scribble Circles dies (Tonic Studios) for the three matching, overlapping circles
Butterfly dies are memory Box (I think), for the lower wings I inked up a small piece of card in the same colours as the stencilled ones, with the addition of some gold
The sentiment and the diagonal striped pieces are pc generated
To complete I added a few gems 
 

I then used the leftover bits and bobs to make a couple of smaller cards, which I'll share next time ;)

  So that's all for today, Thank You so much for visiting,
please leave a comment, I really love seeing your messages!

Happy Crafting, and stay safe!
