Vintage Birthday

Evening Folks

I am sitting here slowly melting while writing this post.  We might have had thunderstorms last night but the hot sticky conditions remain.  I was hopeful that it might have freshened the air a bit to at least enable me to sleep but I was wrong.  Still, I am not going to complain as we don't see enough nice weather in the UK.  My apologies if I have not been round to visit all your blogs over the last couple of days.  All I want to do in the evenings at the moment is to keep cool and sitting with a laptop on your knee is not exactly cooling lol.  I have also been busy with a wedding order for three weeks time.  I can't show you what I have been working on at the moment but will do as soon as the wedding is over.

It has been a very exciting couple of days with the birth of William and Kate's baby boy.  What a precious little bundle and congratulations to them both.  I was sat in front of the television this evening for my first glimpse of the little man.  I just hope that they are given a bit of privacy now to get used to being parents and getting to know their little boy.

I have a male birthday card to share with you tonight.

I used a topper from Kanban together with papers from Craftwork Cards for this creation.  I mounted everything onto kraft card to keep the monochromatic feel.  For embellishments I used a couple of metal corners and some card candy.  I also used some distress ink around the edges of the topper and the papers.  This was a quick card to put together but just perfect for a male birthday.
