Happy Birthday to me..Happy Birthday to me

Do I feel any older?..of course I don't..I still feel the same as I did when I was sixteen!..minus a few little ailments I've picked up along the years.

I have money to indulge next week, music to listen to today while I work..(didn't plan that very well did I )..and perfume to spray on at intervals through the day to make me feel pretty.


Willow Sketchie Challenge today, I showed you the peek yesterday...here's the full card.


I did experiment with this card, I've never used ProMarkers to colour in a solid "sketchy" background but, I think it works and always love to see grey and pink together.

Here's what I did:

1. Print off Fairy Bella download onto a A4 piece of white card, trim to size and colour background using the chisel end of Warm Grey 1 ProMarker, mount onto white card and trim leaving a small border.

2. Colour image using ProMarkers: Carmine, Amethyst, Spice, Rose Pink, Ice Grey 2, Blush, Satin, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink.

3. Using a glue pen, add glitter flocking powder to wings.

4. Add ribbon around a length of white card and fix onto the front of a pink base card.

5. Add a punched border to a strip of spotty card and fix across .

6. Mount image onto card front, add a ribbon and chipboard embellishments to finish.
