Another big birthday and one I completed early as I knew what image I wanted to use and I almost copied a design I made way back in 2010, sometimes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lol.

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing…
I was looking through my old cards and came across a card that I knew the recipient loved so I thought why not make it again, I think I made the original about 12 years ago but I still had everything I needed to recreate, it helped that it was mostly digital lol.
Making this made me remember why I do this card making thing, the sheer joy of creating something from paper and card, knowing it will bring a smile to the recipient is an added bonus.

The tortoise and the golf cart.......
September is certainly a busy birthday month around here and I made this card for my boss. He is a keen golfer and you may have thought I would make him a golfing card but I did that last year so I decided as you can buy cards with golf on but cards with tortoises on are harder to find I would make one for his other passion.
As soon as I saw this tortoise at Create with TLC I had to get it, normally digi stamp tortoises are more caricatures so this one seemed more real iykwim lol. Coloured with my copics and an airbrushed background and of course the glossy accents too. I wasn't sure what to do with the background but eventually decided on these Echo Park papers, some from the snippet folder and some I printed and used my flagstack die-namics to cut them out. The cardstock is called chocolate brownie and is a textured card from elzybells, wish I had bought more of this now and have had it a while and this is the first sheet I have used, must say though even the smallest pieces went in the snippet folder.
