sweet ~ funnest birthday ever!

Nope it's not my birthday!

 I have a card and a layout to share with you today. First is a card that I made for the challenge over at Twisted Sketches.

The image I used is a digital from Sassy Cheryl's the best part about it is that no coloring is required. I bought it that way.

My layout below is for a new sketch challenge blog called Lasting Memories and the challenge for this week was to do a layout with bows and buttons.

I had bought a Tim Holtz flourish mask and wanted to try it out with my glimmer mist so decided this would be the perfect opportunity. I started out by laying the mask on my white card stock and then spraying two different blue and a green glimmer mist. Then I removed the mask and added my photo, I attached some handmade wrinkle ribbon and then added a bow to each row. It didn't seem complete so I added some dogwood flowers with buttons, some butterflies that I had punched out of white cardstock after I sprayed it with more of the glimmer mist and then I added some black flourishes for tails.

 Hope you enjoy!

I'm Back

My little mini vacation was cut a little shorter than I had planned as my sister when we got to her house was sick with allergies and bronchitis. So instead of trying to hang out with her we decided to come home and will go back at the end of June and try it again.

This is a card that I started last week before I left and wanted to get it posted. The card is for the sketch over at MTSC75.

I used some of my Cosmo Cricket "DeLovely" papers as well as a digital image from Sassy Cheryl's. I colored with my Copic markers and added some glossy accents to the water.

Hope you enjoy!
