A Commission

Today's cards are ones I was asked to make by a friend whose two daughters-in-law celebrated their 40th birthdays in December so it's OK to post them now.  She said to do both cards the same but I felt happier doing different cards albeit along similar lines.



DPs -  Piece of Cake by Dovecraft
Whiff of Joy image 'Willow dressing up' coloured with Promarkers
Crystal Stem and Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. Leaves from Joanna Sheen
Tools used - Martha Stewart PATP Eyelet Lace punches - Cuttlebug Olivia Alphabet for the number 40
White and Mirri card from stash.




DPs -My Mind's Eye - Pretty Please (freebie with magazine) 
Whiff of Joy image 'Willow with Champagne' coloured with Promarkers
Pin and Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. Leaves from Joanna Sheen
Tools used - Martha Stewart Deep Edge Doily Lace punch -
Marianne Creatables Flourish - Oval Nestabilities - Cuttlebug Olivia Alphabet for the number 40
White and Mirri card and jewels from stash.

I finished off by making a plain box for each card using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard and decorated with XCut punch butterflies.
