SUNSHINEY DAY

 {Wishing you a SUNSHINEY DAY}

Hope all my bloggy friends are having a wonderful week.  It is a public holiday here in South Africa, namely Youth Day, so its a lovely excuse to spend the sunny winters day indoors with some crafty goodness.
I am here today with another Birthday Card using for the first time, My Besties FLUFFY BEACH BABES, aren't they just pure fabulosity. You can purchase them here

  The buttons, brad and design papers are from my stash. The folded embellishments has been created with circle punches {see tutorial below}. I also used some dry chalks on the sentiment. The flourishes were stamped with Chiswick acrylic stamps.  I added the coloured background to the image with gradient fill in Photoshop CS3.
The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC.

Here is the TUTORIAL for the folded circle embellishments.
