Birthday Cards

How often do you send a Birthday card?

 How often is it a last minute purchase? 

How many do you forget?

I am notorious in our family I rarely send cards...... yes I know I make them but......

At the start of February I was having a conversation with a friend about cards and letter writing in general and how we no longer write letters and that cards are often a last minute thing and often only for birthdays not just note cards in the post. I went away to boarding school so letter writing was something I have always enjoyed but no longer do.
We made a pact we would send a minimum of 5 cards a month....thats more than one a week and they could be just a note so if I have your address watch for the post man!
In our jems team we have a birthday list - if I know you or you know me, or you are on the list you might just get a birthday card this year.......can't promise for next.

This is todays make, and its in the post today too. Just hope the recipient likes it.





I have used the aqua painter to colour the petals and the leaves. The flower centre is gold from the wink of stella pen, it is a very rich gold!

Other colours are the same as yesterday. Wisteria Wonder and Tip Top Taupe with a little green for the leaves.
