Easter may now just be a distant memory but I hope you’ll forgive me for buzzing in with just one last Easter card. I thought it would be OK as I actually made a pair of cards in the same style, using one as a birthday card.

The fabulous cockerel image is from the Gecko Galz Provence Garden collage set. I’ve teamed it with coordinating cardstock and a couple of tags from My Artistic Adventures Cream Shabby Chic set.

I used some garden string in the top of the tags.

I added an extra little tag, topped with punched eggs, a sentiment and Easter themed ribbon to the Easter version.

Whilst the birthday version was finished with some gorgeous chestnut coloured gingham ribbon.

I love it when you can create two similar cards in one sitting, especially as these were both created with men in mind as that is always a tricky job.

Thanks for buzzing by.
