Birthday Surprise!

I was looking for something a bit different for a birthday card for my mother's 80th birthday today. I downloaded the workshop and templates for this card from Etsy, It was designed by Helen Allen.

Here are a few photographs and a video clip to show how it works.

To make this card I used

Bazzill Cardstock
Patterned papers, Alphabet Stickers and Element Stickers - Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry Collection
Alphabet Stickers - Basic Grey's Max and Whiskers
Elastic Band
Distress Ink
Stickles
Liquid Pearls

I gave it to Mum at The Ritz where we had afternoon tea to celebrate her day - the card really did surprise her!

Thanks for looking - off to The Ritz now for Mum's 80th birthday afternoon tea party!
