Birthday Girl

Brrr it's cold down here in Cornwall today, but the sun is shining and the daffs are just about to flower in my garden so as long as we get another week of sunshine, I think it might be Spring at last!

Today I'm showing you another of the cards I made for Cuddly Buddly to exhibit at the SECC this weekend - and as it was a while ago I haven't got a list of the Copic pens for you. I've used Kim's new birthday girl digi image, but she's also available in rubber if you like to get inky. The pretty butterfly background digi paper is from the Little Miss Daisy Spring digi pack and I've pricked the edges before adding Stickles. I've added a length of satin ribbon and tied a bow then stamped out one of the new text greetings and inked the edges with Versamagic chalk ink Spring Pansy, same as on the image. The pearls are made with my white Waco pearl maker pen and the embellishments are a mix of Marianne diecuts, Martha Stewart punched fronds and little pink roses from my stash. And I almost forgot, little punch and emboss Nellies Choice butterflies to bring in a touch of yellow.

The theme over at A Spoonful of Sugar is for tags so I'm joining in their challenge with this card. Flutterby Wednesday have an open theme this week, I hope my punched butterflies and butterfly background paper will count. And, over at Stamp Something it's the digi week challenge so I can enter my creation with them too.

Have fun this weekend - I'm gardening and maybe getting a little inky so will be back in a day or two!

  9. That Waco is a delight in white - so effective the way you've used it. Those little yellow butterfiles really pick up the yellow ones in the patterned paper too & I esepcially like her glittery petticoat. Those embossed leaves work so well with the pink ferns too. Enjoy the gardening but don't over do it!
