I made this card for my mum to send my auntie recently, as she was celebrating a 'big' birthday!
The photo is of them both when they were little, scanned and brightened up a bit using Paint shop pro.
I've inked aroud the edges of the photo and the card blank with scattered straw Distress ink. The sentiment is a stamp by Papermania which has been cut with Nesties Fancy Tags and inked with scattered straw too. The paper is from the V&A Collection, and the adhesive pearls are from stash.
Thanks for visiting :)
