Birthday card - Pom Pom Posy

I'm sharing another birthday card in between projects and this one has been made for a friend.


I chose this particular topper from the Spring Pom Pom Posies - Olivia digital download cardmaking topper sheet by Opulence by Design Crafts because it reminded me of my friend when she was a little girl. Time flies and now she has a family of her own.


I also decided to use two of the papers from the Inspired by Giverny Gladiolas dancing in the moonlight digital download cardmaking kit as not only in my opinion does this gorgeous kit have a varied selection of soft textured designs but a lot of these papers would mix perfectly with your toppers to add dimension to your cards and projects.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right shade of paper/cardstock for a project  and then it when you do find it, it goes out of stock.



To decorate, I added  some little artificial flowers along with a few variegated ivy leaves from Opulence by Design Crafts. I used coloured paper and a small little flower punch to create the little flowers.

Checkout a few of the links below for Opulence by Design Crafts for some great inspiration on their designs and tutorials too. They have a varied selection of kits and crafting sheets and a freebie section that you might what to download too.  Beautiful designs that makes crafting easier.


I've also been busy in my garden. Sorting my little wildlife pond was a big job  as it hasn't been done in a very long time and I'm glad its all done now. I even discovered a family of frogs under my reeds which was a bonus.


One of the smallest frogs on on some barley straw.
I must have put back about 100 ramshorn snails which keep the water clear, considering I started with 13, they have been thriving.

Have a great day, whatever you have planned for yourself.

I would love a garden pond, but we have a very inquisitive cocker spaniel, so not an option for me!
