Birthday card for a Crafty Friend

This is another card made using the fab Glitter Girls board Once Upon  A Time.  I made it for a very special crafty friend of mine its her Birthday today. I have used foiled , glittered and embossed cardstocks in  various tones of pink and purple. The card has been embellished using lots of pretty flowers, a large and small die cut butterfly (using the spellbinders dies) clear gemstones and some gorgeous spotted organza ribbon.

My 15 mins of fame

This is the matching box for the card

This was when Nigel May was reading out the Glitter Girls Story written by me

This card was made to commemorate The Glitter Girls 50th board and featured a story written by me. I presented this to them at a retail show in Alexandre Palace. Kathy and Babs loved it so much that they took it on TV with them. It was show on Create and Craft on Thursday 19th April 2012 (9am hour) I was also called by them from the TV studio and spoke live on air for 10 mins. This card took more than 2 hours to make not including the box. It featured glittered, foiled and embossed cardstocks in shades of pink and purple. it was embellished with organza ribbon, butterfly diecuts, paper roses, babies breath and clear gemstones.
