Happy Birthday


Over at Tickled Pink blog their challenge this week is to use the sketch
and to make a matching bookmark
you also have to use any stamps that
they sell well surprise they sell magnolia....
I'm into making larger cards at the moment...this is
a piece of card folded in half....can never
remember the sizes lol.....
the image was coloured in with my trusty
promarker's and was cut out with nesties...
the paper from the background is from my stash...
the ribbon is from hobbycraft...they sell loads
of ribbon on reels and it starts at 99p a bargin..
the punched edge at the bottom is a martha
stewert punch...
the punched heart is also a martha stewert and
to give some dimention on the middle
panel I used some foam dots to pop
her off...
the bookmark was made in the same style...here they are together..
think I'll send them together as part of the card...
love the idea...
