A labour of love



Yesterday I told you about my grand daughters success in passing her A level exams.
Tonight's session in my craft room was a labour of love, to make her a congratulatory card.
It is not the type of card I would usually make, but like all young girls she loves a bit of sparkle and bling. She would be embarrassed if I made something too sentimental,as she is sure to want to show it to her friends.
I did not think I would have an image that would be suitable, but God Bless my friends at The Stamp Shack. Over these last few months we have had a couple of image swaps, and I found this fun one amongst some of the stash they had sent me.
I thought the occasion warranted an A4 sized card so it gave me plenty of blank surface to work with. I customised it with her name, added the fun image and some bling and finally added some small embellishments too.
My daughter had bought her some longed for expensive shoes, so I added some shoes and a handbag charm. A long side that I added a little silver heart, that was my sentiment of love for her. I hope she likes it!!
