A birthday card for a change

Hi there, a quick post from me today as i've slipped on some ice and pulled my back (ouch) so i can't sit at the computer for too long. This weeks challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio is 'Once Upon a time' and I've used the lovely 'Alice' (from Michelle's etsy store) for my card, Alice is this weeks spotlight image so you can get her at a sale price!!


I've used a gingham bp from Joanna Sheen, lots of blue gems and some blue satin ribbon from my stash. The image is coloured with promarkers apart from the cup which I coloured with a blue sakura glaze pen. I stamped a HOTP swirl around the edge of the image and embossed it with sparkly blue EP and then distressed with blue ink. The sentiment is also stamped and embossed with blue and the blue rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I'm entering Alice in the following challenges:

Top Tip Tuesday: Use ribbon
Digi's with Attitude: Anything goes + use a digi
Stamp something: Digi day
Hodge Podge Shop: Birthday cards
Karber Weekly : Fantasy + a digi

Thanks for visiting today, hope you have a good weekend. I'm planning a very lazy one watching Strictly and X factor. The snow is really melting quickly here now but its so slippery out I won't be going further than my craft room
