Birthday Card

I've made this card for my friend's forthcoming 50th birthday. It's one of my favourite Sarah Kay images coloured in with Copics. I've used Daisy Bucket papers which I absolutely love, they have a real nice texture to them and a sketch from Creative Inspirations latest challenge. It's great using a sketch as I tend to take forever anyway, choosing papers and colours so anything that makes life easier is good for me.

I've also managed to squeeze this card into the Copics Colour Challenge this week. I don't have the exact colours but have used colours within the same tone. Note to self: Must get some more Copics, LOL.

Thanks for looking.

Creative Inspirations Wed Challenge

My Sister-in-Law's daughter, Frances, gave birth to a baby girl, 7 lb 13 oz, and they have named her, yes, you've guessed, GRACE. Aaah, I go all goo-ey thinking about babies.....

I was in town at lunchtime and do you know, I was almost tempted to buy a card! I had a quick look but decided to have a go at making one and here is my attempt. I really hope they like it.

I have used Daisybucket designs backing paper and Penelope's Patches paper for the name, which I cut out on my Silhouette, along with the baby items for the border. I have run the border and heart corners through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder (which I love) which means I can enter Creative Inspirations Wed Challenge which this week was to do some embossing. It didn't say dry or with powders, so I think this should be alright.

Do pop over to the Creative Inspirations Blog - the design team have made some fabulous cards.
