Birthday Fairy Wishes . . .

Happy Friday peeps!   I wanted to share this card that I made for my SIL.  She celebrated her birthday on the 20th.  Actually, there were/are many birthdays in which our family celebrated recently.  Here's a list:

FIL - Feb. 17th

SIL - Feb. 20th

DD & an Aunt - Feb. 22nd

Me! - TODAY!!!  :) 

1LuvnDad - Tomorrow, Feb. 26th

Anyway, I created this circle card using Birthday Fairy from Lili of the Valley.   The edge around the actual card was done with my MS Doily Lace Edger Punch.  The doily behind the image is from PTI (luv it!) and the sentiment too is from PTI.  I dyed seam binding in Tim Holtz Black Soot.  Lastly, the DP is from BasicGrey Sugar Rush paper pad.

I colored the image with copics and distressed the background while still in the die with Spun Sugar.  I also distressed the edges of the DP with my Tim Holtz Distressing Tool & added Lime Green Stickles to the distressed parts.

A closer look . . .

I'm gonna submit this to a few challenges for fun.  What the heck right?  :) 

Well, I just wanted to take this time to say thank you to those of you (you know who you are) who emailed me or left birthday wishes on my previous post.  I adore each and everyone of you . . . thank you from the bottom of my heart and for continuing to stop in to view my itty bitty blog.  :)

Just Because . . .

Happy mid-week bloggers! 

Well, I did it!  I used all 3 Miss Anya's in the TGF Miss Anya Hats Off set.  I just luv this sophisticated chic!  Then again, I luv them all!  :) 

Miss Anya is sitting in front of some really sweet DP, Imaginisce Garden Party Collection.  I used my Labels 12 and embossed the DP with Cuttlebug's Textile.  Then, distressed the raised part with Tim Holtz Tea Dye.  Do you likey the doily?  It's from PTI's February Release . . . I couldn't wait to use the doily die.  The sentiment is also from PTI's Simple Sentiments set.  Lastly, the flowers were cut using C.C. Designs Tag It set. 

Here's a close-up . . .

Thought I'd enter a couple of challenges, "Just Because".  LOL!  :)

Card Positioning Systems (CPS) 206 Sketch

Fresh Farm Friday (FFF) - Terrifically Texturized - 2 to 3 different textures on project - - - I did dry embossing (distressed with Tea Dye on the embossed part) and added Glossy Accents to Miss Anya's shoes.

That's it for me . . . I have another card to share real soon!  I'm really trying to ink up some stamps that have never been used.  Thinking, it's about time I do!  Always buying and never enough time to use what I buy.  Thanks for stoppin' in!

A Labels 17 box . . .

I can't tell you enough how much I luv this new set by TGF, Miss Anya Hats Off.  So far, I've inked up 2 out of the 3 . . . can't wait to color the last image {already in the process}! 

My dear friend Alice, of Alice's {Little} Wonderland, created a sweet box with her Spellbinders Labels 17 for the Whiff of Joy Tutorials & Inspirations Blog.  When I first saw it, I knew I would need to try my hand at making one.  I used the same Labels 17 die for the cover and base of the box and Labels 4 for Miss Anya's background. 

Here's a close-up. 

This is what it looks like with the box opened up.  All in all, this box was fun and easy to make.  Thanks Alice for the inspiration! 

Thanks for stoppin' in and hope you're having a wonderful President's Day {if your living in the USA}!
