Happy Birthday Jozza!

The Friday Sketchers challenge this week is:




I wanted to make a funky and bright card for my fellow Funky Hand DT mate Jozza as its her Birthday this weekend. And something to stand out on the mantelpiece!

Quite a simple challenge I thought, but its never easy trying to work out how it all should really work! I'd already decided on the Lola Rose image as I'd been good a while ago and got some already coloured (I think I had something called time on my hands...!) so I thought I'd use that. And as I've not used my Martha Stewart punches for a while, they came out of the cupboard.

The backing paper is Big Mini Dots download from Pink Petticoat, the red card is from my stash and so too is the red grosgrain ribbon and gems. I've inked the edges of the papers and punched strips with my virtually faded black ink pad - at least I don't get too much on!

And a big Happy Birthday Jozza!! Hope its a good one!

New Job

Made a new job card for a friend who I used to work with. Actually she covered my maternity leave first time round and she was that good she stayed!!

Backing paper and and Lola Rose image stamp from Pink Petticoat. The image has been hand coloured with pencil crayons. I silver swirl doodled on the pearlescent lilac tag.

And dotted around the edge of the little tag. The letters are stamped (first time I've used stamps in 8 years!) and then gone over again with a cd black marker pen.

Hayley was suitably impressed with the card! Good luck with the new job!
