Engaged!

An engagement card for my friends son and girlfriend, they always put six red kisses in all their cards, and he surprised her with the proposal and presented her with an Haribo Jelly ring, until they could go out and buy the real thing, so I decided to incorporate it into the card.
I also made the same card (without the personalisation and jelly ring) as a sample for Mei.

The Jelly ring is in an acetate envelope.

Green Geisha

It's my eldest daughters birthday (29) today and here is the card I made for her.

Papers - Green Tea - Mindy Terasawsa at Designer Digitals
Flower - Cheery Lynn - Manon's Wedding Garland

I used a large green pearl in the centre of my flower and then surrounded it with tiny crystals, to look like those diamante spacers you can buy (works out cheaper this way!).
