Happy 70th Birthday Mom!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Here are all the crafty things I got up to for my mom's birthday.

Firstly I decorated an album

It comes already pink with the edges already shaped I just added decorations, photos, ink, paints, stamping etc etc. I also used quite a few mediums with stencils etc. to get different effects, I tied it all together with ribbons.

 Next I decorated this cake shaped box - the lid comes off so I could put some presents inside. I painted it with gesso and then sprayed on Dylusions in hindsight the gesso was probably a bad idea as the Dylusions rub off quite a bit but I got there in the end with a little distress as well. I then cut out some butterflies on the cricut and stuck them on as well as some butterfly stickers I had. I used a silver pen to go round the bottom of each layer and then I added spots of glitter all over.

Then there's the card.....which is texture paste over a splodgeaway owl stencil and then covered with distress inks. Then I cut a 70 out of coloured paper on the cricut and stuck it on.

Then I made a cake - it's a coffee cake with coffee flavoured butter cream on the inside. Then I iced it and decorated with butterflies and a 70 and some shimmer powder.

Sulphur and cake

Just realised I forgot to post Sulphur that I finished last week....here it is....background is a swirl stencil and random Dylusions

And here is a coffee cake I made....I bought some coffee extract and wanted to test it out; I added fudge pieces too but they all melted and stuck to the tin d'oh anyway I rescued those and put them in the middle bit and also made some coffee butter cream as well and added a few more fudge pieces on the top.
