Val and Vinnie

Hi, its a long weekend for me as I've been snowed in since Wednesday which has meant more time for crafting. I've made so many Christmas cards and fancied a chance so I've made this birthday card using Val and Vinnie Valentine, the kissing couple from Michelle Perkett.

I've used a deckle edged pastel blue card and bps from the gorgeous GCD Ella Blue paper pad. Val and Vinnie are coloured with promarkers and have Art Institute 'nirvana' glitter on the blue hearts on their outfits. I added some blue shimmery ribbon, a padlock charm and a metal heart which I embossed with pastel blue EP.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown: embellish it

Hodge Podge Shop: Birthday cards

fab'n'Funky: Birthday card

Delicious Doodles: Use a digi

Don't forget you still have time to enter our challenge at Michelle Perkett Studios, we have a really fun theme for you 'Make your own background'!! If you don't have any of Michelle's images, you can grab a freebie at Michelle's groups on PCP, SNR and CDAC

Right, back to the Christmas cards as I'm not venturing out in this weather. We still have heaps of snow although I don't think its as cold today and we haven't had any more snow .... yet!

Thanks for visiting, keep warm if you can
