60th Birthday Card

Morning Folks.
As you can see from the above card i'm most definately NOT a very good crafter! BUT yes there is a but i do my best (whatever that means). Anyway back to the card
I took a piece of black A4 card, trimmed it down to what took my fancy i then used some spare white card to make the shirt front. With my spellbinder edgeabilities i edged the shirt to make it look like a dress shirt then i noticed it is uneven. nevermind it looks ok if you are pissed. sorted out 4 black buttons. i had some lettered beads & foam numbers from Poundland so added them found "happy birthday" stick-on onto the pocket front made a hankie for the pocket which i used from the A4 black card i had along with the bowtie added some sparkle to it all. all thats left to do is later on is find a nice verse to go inside (its not his birthday till july). As i have said its not perfect but the thought and effort count. (I hope)

Parchment

These photo's were produced in parchment/vellum myself I think it's a lovely art one I can do just about with a bit of tuition I might find I can follow the instruction......
How do you make them? You may or may not ask you trace the outline using either white ink/pencil/gel pen you will need a few pricking tools, embossing tools, coloured pens, markers scissors etc. come back soon

Hubby's birthday card

I'm trying (yes I known I'm very trying) where was I, oh yes I'm trying to make hubby a birthday card a picture will follow when completed. I wanted it to be a themed card (don't we always). Well you know what I mean don't you? You make a card with a person in mind that's ok but I can't for the life of me find what I'm looking for.............back some time soon to finish the card and this.......hahahaha

Profile

Well here I am just starting the crafting, a bit late in life I know but you get bitten by the bug. I have made a few cards and I will put the pictures on at some stage when I find them. As to videos? Not too sure just yet. Maybe I can give them a go later........
I am 57 going on 10 haven't grown up yet not too sure if I want to either. I live in Surrey England. It's not a bad place when the sun shines.
Hobbies are family tree (it's been put away until the winter) and gardening. I have my veg seeds in the greenhouse.
