First Birthday

I've got quite a few of the Lily of The Valley pre-coloured square toppers and kinda need to use them up!  So I've made this cute first birthday card.  I've used Dovecraft Back To Basics 3 6x6 papers and distressed the edges then added liquid pearl dots for extra texture.

The lilac coloured card is from my stash along with both ribbons.  The silver die cut number is also from my stash (bought from ebay before I bought my die cutting machine, so around 12 years I've had them!)

I've added a little glitter here and there - you just can't see it on the photo.

Simple Doodles Challenge 22 - Sketch

Welcome to another Simple Doodles Challenge! This time it's a sketch:
And here is my sample! I've used a Simple Doodles image and coloured it with Promarkers. The backing paper is DCWV Text Print 6x6 stack which I bought ages ago (it was half price!) but hadn't even used it! I've inked the edges after adding it to the card blank.

I've used a Nestabilities die to cut the shape behind the turtle and added ribbon from my stash.

The snaps are WRMemory Keepers and because the card blank is not thick enough, and I didn't add a shim behind, they spin round. Which is obviously intentional!

The lettering is cut using my Baby Face Cuttlebug alphabet set. I've added a wobbly eye to the turtle - the boys helped me decide which size was best. He did at one point look slightly scary with a huge eye!

Good luck in entering the challenge! Pop over to the challenge blog for more details and how to enter, you have until Thursday 29 July to enter!
