For today’s card, made especially for my brother-in-law’s birthday (same day as my son’s), I have made a shaped card - a speech bubble in gorgeous pearlescent cardstock.

The image is called ‘Throwback Fred’ from Justinklined, and I thought this Elvis imitator would be perfect for a male’s birthday card - and to that end at least, I must be onto a winner, as even my husband likes it….and he doesn’t usually say much about my cards!!! Coloured with Promarkers the image is simply matted onto embossed gold mirri and stripey paper rectangles whose corners I rounded to match those of the speech bubble. His outfit needed the necessary bling with added tiny gems and a mirri medallion completed his ensemble. I then made myself suitably shaped insert for inside, adding a similar but smaller embossed mirri rectangle with a tag emblazoned across the top, leaving room for the ‘To’ and ‘From’ (as if they would never have guessed anyway!?!?!) on the other side.

Kept it short and sweet today, but hope you like it! Sorry the photos are not up to much today, but the clouds are rolling in. :(
