40th Birthday

Hubby came home the other night and asked if I could make a 40th Birthday card for one of the girls in his office, and this is what I came up with.

I love this image, which is a digi image by Just Inklined.  I love their images and was lucky enough to be part of their DT for quite a while.  This image is still available to buy and download from their website. 

I coloured the image with ProMarkers, which sadly I don't tend you use very much at all now.  The sentiment and number were diecut, which I then covered in glitter.  I also added glitter to the shoe.

Oh and by the way, she loved the card.

Red & Blue at Winter Wonderland

We have 2 fab sponsors for this one, who are -

Marianne Design

Their prize is a surprise, but I'm sure it'll be lovely.

Our second sponsor is The Ribbon Girl 

Their prize is a £10 voucher.

The new challenge has just started over on I ♥ ProMarkers where the theme is 'Make your own background papers'.  We have 2 sponsors for this one, Marianne Design  who's price is a surprise and Squigglefly who's prize is a choice of 3 digi images.

Here's my DT card.

The image is from Squigglefly.  I made the background, by stamping butterfly with Versamark, and heating embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I then used Distress Inks to colour the card.  The embossing resists the ink, making it stand out more.

The usual close up.

This rose is a stamp from Visible Image, which I coloured for last weeks challenge, but I've had terrible sciatica and was unable to sit long enough to finish it.  So I thought why waste it, I can use it for the next challenge, I just had to mat and layer it and make it into a card. 

For the background I stamped randomly with a stamp called 'Field of Sky', but I have no idea who the maker is, I then distressed a little with Dried Marigold Distress ink, and added the ribbon and pearls.

The usual close up.......
