Pleasant Dreams?

Been playing with Rick St Dennis images again

and thought this fabulous lady would make an awesome

"best wishes" type card :D

 "Mama Mumba Voodoo Woman"

I coloured her with my Promarkers

before cutting her out.

 I had made the base card already,

layering a vintage paper from Debbi Moore

with several die cut lacy flourishes from

Tattered Lace

 Once all the layers were set I added

pearl drops to her necklaces and purse

trimmings.

 and a die cut sentiment*also Tattered Lace*

The acetate butterflies just needed to flutter in :D

Enjoy XXX

We were free to use our own images for this

challenge, and I wanted to make a Birthday card

for my very "grown up" 8 year old niece.

There is just something so ageless about flowers

in full bloom...

and bicycles with baskets :D

They recently acquired a little dog, and I couldn't

resist using this Tattered Lace die to make a copy of him.

Just having fun...

Grabbing the odd half hour to play is a necessity for me....

as is grabbing a bargain, so when I got the chance to

 buy 4 sets of X-cut shadow box dies for under £36 I didn't

even try to resist(normal price £19.99 each)

I find theses sets are so useful as they cut apertures 

and can be used individually as well as to make scenes.

I like to make my own background card using inks on plain paper... 

 cos it's messy...and I love messy :D

 I cut the layers I wanted out of plan black card...

 I only used 3, and made the "sky" around the distant trees wider

 before sticking a bit of the "sky" backing card behind the windows 

to give the effect of reflection(or house lights).

 I also sent for some SO SUZY sentiment stamps last week....

*though postage charges from US made them twice the price*

worth every penny lol

 They even added a sweet freebie "Spring Time Hugs"

*what a lovely thing to do*

I will definitely be buying more...struggled to only choose 3 lol

and arrived in perfect time to have fun with a few challenges.
