Spellbinders Intertwined Spirals and Sue Wilson Italian Collection - Tuscany Birthday Card



Made for my very special friend for her birthday using Spellbinders Intertwined Spirals and Sue Wilson Italian Collection.

Played around with inks in her favourite colours but couldn't achieve what I wanted.

The inks are water reactive and I had seen a demo where after inking you spritz a mask with water, lay over the top and then lift to reveal the pattern in the background.  I will have to revisit it as my attempts were woeful!

Plan B, do a do-over and cover up.  I love the circular sentitment stamps from Lily of the Valley, but the ones I have used the most have just disintegrated so out of the ones I have left, I thought this was the best.

Even though we do not see each other very often as we live hundreds of miles apart, we have been very close for thirty years.  And this year we managed to spend her birthday together.  Lovely!

Yikes, where have the years gone?! Lol.
