A Card for a Friend

It's absolutely ages since I have posted anything.  I have, however been busy making birthday cards for friends.  The original design of which I have stuck to in order to make a pretty and simple card.  They have been inspired by a card a friend made for me and so I do not consider these my own design because I used the idea.  Even though every card is different.  I decided today to post one of these to keep in touch with my blog but hope to 'take off' again soon.
