Enchanted Birthday

Actualy got round to making a Birthday card

 in time to mail to my niece this year.

I think children really appreciate a mailed card,

 even if your going to visit them anyway lol

She will be 7...*going on 17*

I knew I wanted to use this Graphics 45 paper, which makes a wonderful card front

 TPS challenge 276 is to add Ribbon and/or Lace 

and it just so happens one of my bargain buys over Christmas 

was a collection of ribbons,

  including some yummy coloured mesh ribbon

 I layered the mesh over a plain satin ribbon using double-sided tape.

This meant I could add glitter or mica powder for added shimmer.

 I chose this lovely image from TPS called "Cozy Winter Wishes"

 Coloured her with promarkers and cut her out,

Shopping Our Stash #285 is "Stickle Me Elmo" so I

added "waterfall" blue Stickles to her hat and scarf.

I  also highlighted areas of the background paper

with "diamond" Stickles

 and some golden yellow gems to the corners

for Passion For Promarkers #377 (add some bling)

Finally a big sparkly 7 for 

Fab n Funky #333 Birthday with a number.

I am also working on several dt projects that are not cards

all 25p each!!!
