Between visiting family and this heatwave I managed to squeeze in some stitching during the past month.
For those of you unfamiliar with Jo's Gifted Gorgeousness and Rachel's Fully Finished Gallery SALs, further details can be found here and here.
Increasingly I find it difficult to find birthday cards that I like to send. My taste hasn't kept pace with that of the card industry. As a result I stitched this card for a 60th birthday and it is both my Gifted Gorgeousness and Fully Finished item this month. The cupcake design is free on Durene Jones's Facebook page.

As the heatwave continues, stay cool and safe.
Such a sweet Birthday card! I'm sure the person receiving it will enjoy it! I thought about doing that same SAL, and have been collecting all the data, I just need to make myself stitch it, yours looks wonderful! Stay safe in the heat, won't you?
ReplyDeleteI like the round cupcake finished as a hexagon; the two shapes work well together, and it's a beautiful card! Thanks for showing it in this month's FFG SAL. :)
ReplyDeleteYour birthday card is super, great finishing idea. I love the temperature SALs, it's so interesting to see how the colours change through the seasons.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. I love the card you made, such a nice gift. I tend to send the Jacquie Lawson e-cards now!
ReplyDeleteLovely work on the Temperature SAL too. I wish I'd done one with the extremes we have had this year!
