A Cocktail for a 30th Birthday!

Hi there, I hope all's well with you and that you have the lovely sunshine we have today....cool in the shade though.

Alistair is away to the Torridon range of mountains today, a bit further afield for him now that we can travel further, he's with his friend Derek, so no doubt they will have a smashing day, but come home exhausted.

I got my second jab on Monday and apart from a bit of a painful arm and a headache the following morning all's well, just so glad to have got it, especially as there are so many around the world who are not getting the vaccine, due to immoral, inhumane, and monster greed politics of the western countries. I get so angry about this kind of thing. A world pandemic and heads of government are playing a lottery with the vaccine. Anyway I consider myself fortunate.

Moreen, my DiL has asked me if I could make a card for her brother to give to his daughter for her 30th birthday. The remit was cocktails, dining out, gyms, here's what I came up with;


 I thought this image by Pink Gems would be just perfect for Anna, and the best thing of all was that I didn't have to colour it. It's a digital sheet so it was just a question of cutting it all out. I've decoupaged the cherries and the butterflies, and added Glossy Accents and glitter. I will make a box for it, and I've plenty of images left to decorated the box.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last card, your comment are always appreciated.

Did you know that today is National Tea Day? well I'm away to make myself a cuppa, put my feet up and have a read. Take care of yourselves and see you soon,

OH! Kate this is beautiful, a lovely image and design and I love the cherry and blossom. Your card will look so impressive in a box. Funnily enough, I have just come in (yes it's chilly here too, this evening) after taking a photo of our cherry blossom tree in blossom.
Good to hear your jab was OK with little side effects.

Glad you have had your second jab. I will have mine Saturday. So glad our Government was forward thinking in ordering them and the NHS are doing a marvellous job. India is in a terrible state, upsetting to see these countries. Anyway your card is fab, love this image and.I love the extra elements like decoupaging and gloss accents. Goodness must use mine again. All these things we have and forget about.

I think it fits the remit perfectly Kate.
Yes we are lucky to be getting the jabs, I had my 1st last week, quicker than I thought over here, my John still waiting.

Same lovely sunshine here Kate, down side is that the hard night frosts have come at the worse time for the blossom just forming in the orchard.

Pleased you had your second jab, mine is tomorrow, feels like small steps in the right direction.

Loving the fin image on your card.
