Hello everyone,
I played in my room ( everyday ) but, on this day, I made these old book page ephemeras I suppose you could call them, using stickers and things..but then decided to make a card with this one as it was so simple and mono coloured, so called it my neutral birthday card.
This is the inside, I always decorate the insides somehow, usually like this.
this is the front, quite boring, right.
This is one of the panels I made with faux stitching and inking and stuff..
Plonked it on and awwww...so pretty..
Added this ribbon which has a very light wire through the edges, very light, and twisted it on and dotted bits of glue so it would stick..
Then added a die cut daisy for the outside in a neutral colour too..
A simple gold embossed birthday sentiment and it was done.
I made heaps of these book page ephemeras some with coloured flower stickers,
Think I shared them before and another project coming up with those..
So there you go,
Thank you so much for stopping by..
School holidays here in NZ, second week, and I'm having my Grandson Lorenzo tomorrow and Thursday, he's 11, so that should be fun, he still talks...
He doesn't grunt yet..

Oh, so wonderful, so vintage. Love your book page ephemeras. Great how you finished off with the matching bunch of flowers and the fab ribbon. Enjoy your time with (talking) Lorenzo.
What a gorgeous card Chrissy! Love the neutral colours and the daisy peeking through the layers- so pretty, the twisted ribbon and die cut flowers look beautiful.
Have a great time with your grandson.

Incredibly amazing and creative.. love to make some of these if I could. Thanks for entering into our Sisterhood of Crafters challenge xx
Gorgeous, I so love the torn layered look with the pretty flower. The faux stitching is a neat touch too. I do love the touch of the die cut flowers off to the side, that soft ribbon is a great thing to top it all off with. Enjoy the time with your grandson!
I love watching your project grow Chrissy. Really beautiful make and when the ribbon went on it just changed the tone of the whole project. Wow you really do have a lot of the book page ephemeras ready. I feel another book project coming on!!
Such a FABulous design Chrissy.
LOve the detail and your pretty embellishments.
