Cute camera girl

 At The Colour Crazy Challenge this time, 

we are being sponsored by "All Dressed Up."

I have used the gorgeous image called,

"Smile - it's your birthday!"

I coloured the image with my promarkers and other alcohol pens

 and used a lovely trendy flower backing paper behind it. 

The image some with the sentiment, placed where it is on my card,

so all I wanted to add was the recipients name (which I handwrote).

I inked the edges of everything,

dry embossed a line around the backing paper 

and added  a few punched butterflies and a few dovecraft paper

 flowers, layered on top of each other.

Here is a close-up...

I would like to add this into the following challenges:

At Patties Creations, her challenge this week is 
beach / under the sea / anything goes. 

I used her fab image called "Hang Thirty"

(I have no clue what this means, or why it's called this..hahah)

I coloured the sand, fence and sky first, with my promarkers and alcohol pens. 
I added some white brilliance inkpad swirls to form clouds, and 
a little white sakura pen to give them slight definition.

I paper-pieced the surfboards and inked the edges

and made some little bunting out of the same papers. 

The "birthday" is a diecut. I handwrote "Happy" and "Charlie"
