Happy Birthday!

Quick share of a Birthday Card.

I made this using a Hero Arts Note as my base (comes with matching envelope). The cute little girl and die is from In my Heart by Mama Elephant. Sentiment from this set by Purple Onion Designs.  Splatter stamp very aptly named "Splat that!" from Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Stitched die - Peek a Frame by Mama Elephant.  Ink - Viridian by Ranger.

Banners & Bunting!

Supplies:  Compact Sentiments - Waltzingmouse Stamps, pp - Cosmo Cricket

Hearts on a string - Purple Onion Designs, pearl - 

Papermania, Tuxedo Black ink - Memento, colouring pencils, 

textured cardstock - Papermania, A6 card blank - Anita's and roller adhesive.

I reached for my colouring pencils for this card instead of my copics and I have to admit I really enjoyed using them.  A little bit of shading and hey presto!

The "hearts on a string stamp" I recently purchased from Purple Onion Designs.  This stamp was designed by Stephanie Ackerman.  It is so great for paper piecing, colouring with pencils / copics etc.  So many options.

I am entering this into the Banners & Bunting Challenge over on Catered Crop.  The prize this week is digis from Torico - you know I am a huge fan!!!!

Thanks for peeking.
