Flying by to say...Happy Birthday!

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday! How was your day so far? Ours was very busy. Grocery shopping, taking my daughter to a birthday party, dinner time and it's still going on. Anyhoo, my card today is for a boy who turned 7 last week. I do hope he will like it!

Here is my card:

I went with a clean design since I wanted to focus more on the image and the background paper is already busy. Puppy Pilot has been colored with my favorite medium, prismacolored pencils and matted with a black cardstock.  The sentiment comes from rub ons and added onto a banner. I had to include a piece of cardstock at the back so that the banner can hang. I also added a piece of ribbon on the left bottom corner of the image.

Here is a close up where I added some sequins.

Here is the inside of the card. I have used the "Big Holiday Wishes" stamp set (see below)and masked the "Holiday" before stamping the "birthday" from an Inkadinkado set.

Happy Birthday

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!!! I can't believe we're in 2014...It was very cold yesterday where the temperature felt like -30 C! Brr, I could feel the cold in my bones and to top it off, we were out of power for 2 hrs!!! Thank goodness, the temperature is back to normal. 

This week's challenge for Creative Fingers is Anything goes and we are sponsored by

and this is what I created

This is Velma Sassy whom I colored with prisma pencils and Memento markers. Papers are from American Crafts, an old 12 x 12 pad and the sentiment is from one of those stamp sets where I didn't keep the name.
Mats were done with my spellbinders and to finish this up, I added some twine.
