Last Minute Birthday Card – Party Crocodile.

A really simple card today, made at the very last minute, using a pre-creased 15cm x 15cm square card, bought at half price from The Works (pack of 50, reduced from £3.50 to £1.75), well, it would have been rude not to!

I hardly ever make cards these days and I am so rusty I was frightened that all my effort would end up in the bin, but this one turned out pretty ok.

It’s just lots of mat and layering, patterned green paper on silver, then on plain green and then on silver again, with black faux stitching using a fine liner pen around the edges.

…… along with a large puffy crocodile sticker with added googly eyes from goodness knows where, plus most of a pack of sentiment embellishments from Home Bargains (79p) of which I need to get some more as they are so versatile.

The cocktail glasses were part of a pack from Jolees. A scattering of star shaped confetti and clusters of three dots completes the design.  One very quick card done and dusted!

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
