Birthday Wishes

Polkadoodles is our sponsor this week, at the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge...

I used the super -cute image, "Winnie Celebrations 1" ...

I love the red / grey combo and decide that would be my colour scheme

for this card.

The patterns papers seemed to work well together

and I die-cut a fancy square to sit my stamped sentiment on.

I coloured the image with my alcohol markers.. and realised that I might need more, 

as some are beginning to run out! 

Some embosssed lines and edge inking finished off this card.

Valentines

Pattie has a new digi stamp in her shop ...

"Heart Wreath with bow."

I snaffled this immediately, and used it to make a Valentines day

card for my Hubby.

Straight away, I decided that some of the hearts could be leaves...

so added a few stalks and coloured them (with my alcohol pens) as leaves. 

I coloured the red hearts so that they would look chunky, 

with a highlight. 

The intricate heart inside the wreath, is cut from  die I just bought!

Such a bargain... it only cost £1.50 from The Works.

It cuts like a dream and I couldn't believe it

when it fit perfectly inside the image I had already coloured!

I cut it in the same colour as the card.

The word "love" is actually a beautifully cut piece of wood. 

They were a bargain too...I think I got 25 in the pack, for £1! 

Wish I could remember where I got them, as I would be tempted to get more. 

I didn't want to put too much more onto this card, as it has been made for my hubby

and thought he wont want to too fussy or fancy.
