Crafting for all Seasons #9 Birthday

We saw some great entries into our last challenge over at CFAS but it's now time for a new one and this time the theme is Birthdays. We're being sponsored by Meljen's Designs and the design team got to work with some of her gorgeous images. I used Birthday Cup Mouse for my card:

The image is coloured with promarkers then it's been layered onto pink and green papermania cardstock. the green cardstock has been edged with a Martha Stewart punch. Backing paper is from the Fairy Flora stack. Card is finished with some ribbon, a pearl heart, pearls, a sentiment and a fancy flower.

Birthday Wishes

My school friends and I are all the big 50 this year so I needed a special card for next month. I used a new LOTV stamp and this gorgeous Prima Fairy Flora backing paper. I've used a lovely rainbow effect thread to stitch around the backing paper. The image is coloured with promarkers and highlighted with a gelly roll pen. Card is finished with some lace, ribbon, pearls and a button.

Challenges I'm entering:

Sketch and Stamp - birthday (used sketch)

Creative Inspirations - pink, yellow and green

Shelleys Image Blog - buttons, brads or bows - use at least 2 (used a bow and a button)
