Happy Birthday

Good Morning everyone and hope you all have a great Monday - not everyone's favourite day I know but look on the bright side only 4 days left after this til weekend!

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Lexi's Creations and the challenge this week is Happy Birthday.  How easy could that be I ask? Here is what I have made:


I have used Ladybug Flowers which is available at Fairydust Crafts here.  I have coloured my image with Copics and added some Flowersoft to the centre of the flowers.  The image has been cut and matted with Spellbinders and then distressed with some Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The doily is a gorgeous Cheery Lynn die called Sophia's Heart it is so pretty and very big!  The butterfly and flower are also Cheery Lynn dies, I have distressed the edges of the butterfly with Antique Linen.  The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with Spellbinders.  The papers are a recent win from Bearly Mine Designs I got to choose two digi sets of papers and I can tell you it was a hard choice the papers are gorgeous!  You can see the Bearly Mine designs here. I have just finished off with some pearls from my stash.  We are sponsored this week by:


Joanna Sheen is our sponsor and they have free p and p so it is well worth giving them a visit! Please pop over to Lexi's and see what my talented team mates have done its well worth the visit!

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations Paint - Butterflies
Pile It On - The Great Outdoors
Allsorts Challenge - Ice Cream Colours
Crafty Calendar Challenge - Flowers in Bloom
Craft Your Days Away - Bingo (Flowers, Pearls, Doilies)

This is such a beautiful card, gorgeous colour scheme, fabulous colouring of the image. I love it! The way you have edged the card with lace has really impressed me and I will definitely be trying this technique.
