Sweet Birthday Wishes


Come on over and join us. :) 


This week we are being sponsored by All Dressed Up. Thanks so much! 


I love this image from All Dressed Up, but there's not an image I've seen yet that I haven't loved. They;re just so girlie and sweet and with two girls in the house (and all their friends) it's hard not to find good uses for these adorable images.

I colored my little cutie with Prismacolor pencils. I had to outline her with my thin Copic markers because my printer didn't print as dark as it normally does and I wanted that effect. I guess I need a new ink cartridge. :) I used Copic markers for the outline and 'floor'. I used Glossy Accents on the starts and Diamond Stickles on her wings. I cut her out using my 'Labels 9' Nestabilities dies.



The doily is from my stash. Can I just say I don't think I have ever used a doily. Like EVER. I really like it! The diagonal paper is a scrap I had from making a mini album from a Teresa Collins kit a couple years ago. The edged piece in the center was also found, as is, in my scrap stash but I know that it's Stampin' Up's Elegant Eggplant. The card base is Bazzil's Marshmallow and the mats are Neenah's Desert Storm.


The sentiment is from a set that was gifted to me from Darnell. Thanks Darnell!! The set is call Communique Curves from PaperTrey Ink. I inked it up in Stampin' Up's Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed it with their white embossing powder. Didn't do as well with the Craft ink as with Versamark but I wanted it to be 'very' white, if you know what I mean? 


This is a card for our sweet friend, Dara Kate, who is celebrating 6 years old next week! I think I got the looks close enough that she will be able to tell it's her. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

    I love how you coloured your image! I specially love how you grounded the girl with the shadow. I recently started grounding my images too so I am noticing more and more how people are doing that.
