Birthday Wishes

One of my nieces has a birthday coming up and this is for her .  Green is one of my favourite colours and I thought yellow would be nice as a complementary colour. Sort of a sunset colour.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the spring weather.So nice when everything turns green!

Birthday in Blue

A blue birthday card with a Mo Manning digital image called 'Birthday Girl Manga'.

Not crazy about the blue paper I picked but I must of liked it  at the time :O). I accented the card with the Vivienne butterfly die from Memory Box and an edge die I used at a friends place?? The sentiment  is from the Stampin' Up 'Party Pants' stamp set. On another note, it is the Victoria Day long week-end and its been raining for about three days. My garden is growing by leaps and bounds as I type- haha. Such a relief from a winter with little snow and a spring without moisture.

Enjoy Your Day - Every Day

A simple and for me, a plain card I made for the May 2016 Outlawz progressive challenge and their Wednesday Sketch Challenge.    Love the image by  Ppinkydollsart. her name is Fifi and she does look sad but hope she enjoys her day anyway :O)! The papers are all from  Stampin' Up. I used a stamp called Splatter Pattern I bought at Michaels many years ago for the 'River Rock' background paper. The image was coloured  with Copics. A fun and fast card.

Baby Dragon

Yes, another card for a little one turning one (another great nephew). I'm actually late as his party was last week in Calgary. He such an adorable little boy with lots of lovely ginger hair. Just a sweetheart.

I used an image of a  Digi Shack baby  dragon ,
Coloured  him with Pro Markers and made the feet and head dimensional.The  number 'one' is a digital stamp from Beccy's Place. The dangling hearts are from Memory Box dies, and the scalloped /plain circles are dies from Spellbinders.   I used a ribbon and a large brad for additional accents.

FTH Blog PigWit in a Planter

From the Heart Blog Monthly Image  Challenge came this freebie 'Hamlet Pig Wig in a Planter' He is just so adorable . He was a freebie if you had participated in the last challenge. I printed and coloured the image twice (well coloured parts of the second image) to pop up the head,the flower on his head, the large flower, leaf  and bottom flower  using sticky dots.

I so liked the sketch from the From the Heart challenge #150 that I decided to use it for my design. For the twist I choose to use buttons.
