Happy Birthday, Jan Marie Caruso! May your special day be filled with joy, love and laughter, and may the coming year bring many blessings your way.
I met Jan Marie and Mike during their visit to Australia last year, and I found Jan Marie to be not only the creator and owner of my favourite stamp company, but a delightful, warm, caring, smart, funny, generous person who is always willing to give praise, encouragement and.......a hug!
I wanted to make a special card to honour the Birthday of this special Friend, so I decided on a fancy-edged card made with Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8. The papers are from Prima's Meadowlark Collection and the image is from Flourishes Bloomin' Aussie Florals stamp set (an obvious choice for this Aussie girl!) I stamped the image with Memento ink onto blending card, coloured it with Copics, cut it out and mounted it with foam tape onto paper cut out with Flourishes Victorian Oval Template Dies. The sentiment is from Flourishes Tag Lines and I finished off with pearls in the corners.
Copic Colours used were: RV00, RV02, RV04, YG13, YG17, YG67, Y21, Y35.
Thanks for coming to visit my blog!
