Today I have a very special card to share with you. I was asked to make a very special birthday card for a very special Grandma who is about to turn an incredible 94 years old and she lived in England. The brief was for roses and alstroemeria flowers as these were her favourite flowers and I thought that I would do a English country cottage scene with different flowers, a lovely seat to sit on and admire the garden and some sweet birdies to fill the air with song. The Heartfelt Creations Gateway Fold cards were perfect for this occasion. I have used many different products from Heartfelt Creations and as I did not have a lot of time I die cut the images from the paper collection rather than colouring them. I am so happy how this turned out and Olya if you are reading this I really really enjoyed making this. Thank you so much for asking me to make this card and I hope your Grandma really loves and cherishes this very special card/gift that has come from the heart from New Zealand.
Scroll past the photos for a full list of the products that I have used in this card. I will also have a video tutorial on my YouTube channel showing you how I have made these roses coming soon.
