Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #96 - Birthday

Welcome to our latest challenge, hosted by Lin, who has chosen the theme of 'Birthday'.

As it's our birthday, 4 years since our very first article was published and Crafty Cardmakers was born, Lin would like to see your birthday creations to celebrate our birthday. 

Please ensure your project meets the birthday challenge theme in order to qualify for a winner or Top 5 slot.


For my card I have used an image called 'Fancy' by Saturated Canary.




She has been coloured mainly with Promarkers, but I did use Copics for the hair - I find the nibs easier to work with for hair.

I have never tried to colour a large area in Red and it was a challenge to get a nice blend and also, I had a few bleeds around the ribbon in her hair - I should have used a fine nib me thinks!!

I cut her out with a Spellbinders Grand Scallops and layered with red and pearlescent black card.

I used an embossing folder to create the dots on the main card body - Think it was a create too one!

To finish I printed the sentiment on my PC and added some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and a few flat back pearls.
