Emily was going to be celebrating her 21st birthday in August and so her mum asked me to make her a special card. She likes Pilates, iced matcha and cats, and is planning to going travelling at some point in the future, mum told me. She also sent me a picture of the family's longhaired cat, Rosie, so I was able to match her beautiful brown and black fur.
Even though Emily isn't in Paris, as my title might suggest, Sophie actually is! For her 28th birthday, her aunt asked me to create a Paris-themed card, since Sophie is currently living there. She also requested that I include the number 28 somewhere on the design. I created a small card featuring the Eiffel Tower, the French flag, a glass of red wine, a crispy baguette, and a croissant - elements that, to me, capture the essence of all things French.

There must be millions of towers in the world, but the Eiffel Tower is unique. So celebrating a birthday in Paris would be perfect :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards - you did particularly well capturing Rosie's beautiful fur; that looks very tricky. I have a sudden craving for croissants now, I can't think why! :O) xx
ReplyDeleteWow... you make me smiling.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY MosaicMonday... 🌻
...and again, I say thank you for sharing your Post with this great card.
You really are clever making these unique cards. I am sure Emily will love it. Have a lovely week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely. I do like the French card as it's so distinctive with the Eiffel Tower. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful cards! I love all of the details you have included, especially on the Paris themed card. x
ReplyDeleteYour card is so beautiful! I love how you included all those little details — from Pilates and iced matcha to Rosie the cat and even the Eiffel Tower. They make each card feel so personal and full of life. Such a wonderful gift to create for her.
ReplyDeleteYou always find a way to add so many personal touches into each card you create and you are technically so talented, too! I love the details you added to "Rosie"! Lucky Emily and Sophie!
ReplyDeleteI love the cards you made. They are awesome. Thanks for the blog visit and have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are always impressive, but I have to say Rosie the cat is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so fabulous! I love that Sophie gets to celebrate her birthday in Paris and your Eiffel tower and croissants are great.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I love doing crafts like this, but I'm nowhere near as good as you are. The cat looks so good and almost realistic. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! And of course you know how much I love cats! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing artistic talent!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy how your cards capture the recipient’s world so well. And your title reminded me of the Netflix series, which I really enjoy watching.
ReplyDeleteI love that card! And I love how it's so personal featuring pilates and the cat. You can't get that at Hallmark ; )
