Tweet Birthday Girl

Sometimes cards fall together just right and this one was simply that! I decided to use the Birthday Chicks image from From The Heart Digi Stamps - it was one that I printed off a while ago and had it in my 'to do' box - coloured it with Promarkers plus a little glitter glue here and there.

Cardstock is from The Paper Mill and I've used scraps of printed paper - Echo Park Summerdays (had to use these quite cleverly!  Charm and embroidery thread are from my stash along with the half pearls.

Tweet Birthday Girl!

I must point out that any darkish spots on the card are not really on the card but dirty handmarks on the French windows which the sun shone through and onto my card.... got the boys to thank for that! Printed the image which is from From The Heart Stamps - Birthday Chicks and coloured with Promarkers


I've used some new glitter glue that I bought from Hobbycraft on Friday - 2 for 3 so I treated myself. It's a bit clumpy and not as fine as stickles but its not bad for the price! Sentiment came with the digi and I've used D'vine swirls embossing folder on an offcut of card. Half pears from my stash (an ebay purchase sometime ago - a mixed bag of colours!) And that's it!

Birthday Chick

Here I am again! I've had a productive craft day today - husband and Samuel were out karting today, using the older engines and trying out some different 'things' to give Samuel more speed. He had a race last weekend and did pretty well despite the grid being huge and he not being used to so many on the track at the same time; he's got a race next weekend and then for the next 6 weekends...... and not all within the North West either. So, its just been me and Jacob today. He's been playing on the pc or wii or watching tv (well, it is the Easter holidays!) and I've been crafting.

Usually, I colour my images and then they sit around sometimes for weeks or months waiting to be made into something. However today, I've coloured and made cards as I've gone along. I've still got a few other projects on the go so been progressing them too - waiting for glue to dry etc.

Anyway, here is a fab From The Heart Stamps image - Birthday Chicks which I've coloured with Promarkers plus a little bit of stickles (I coloured this whilst half watching an old episode of Fraiser!)


Used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on some offcuts of card (same as cardblank) plus bakers twine, ribbon and some half pearls. Plus a bit of stickles. Another card ticked off the card order list!
