A Late Night Birthday Card!

Early this week my lovely friend Helen asked me for a card for her Dads birthday...on Friday.  Well I am not one for being rush and I do like to pootle in my craft room.

Anyway I had an idea to use my stash of Kanban McKenzie card and embellishments that I treated myself to just before Christmas.  I thought black and cream would be rather nice.  Anyway got a bit carried away.

I wanted to use a bit of acetate on the front to get some movement and thought it would look rather effective.

I used a black card blank that is actually a Kanban one from QVC that I bought ages ago. Everything else is from the Kanban McKenzie Kit from the fab Create & Craft.  Even the little black rose is made from a die cut in the kit and you also get the little qulling tool.   

The sentiment is another QVC blast from the past is from a huge set of Kanban sentiments I bought a while ago.  I even added "65 Today" using Tim Holtz Random Letters.   Got to have a bit of Tim in everything!

Helen was delighted with the card and more importantly so was her Dad.

Thanks for having a little look!
