Wow! I can't believe another year has come and gone - where does the time go? It sure does seem to go faster and faster each year! I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years. I spent it with friends and loved ones so it was a good way to start the new year. Here's to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2011! Here is my first card of the new year - a birthday and celebration card for a friend. I used my favorite color scheme once again, pink and brown, and followed the sketch from Pixie Cottage which had the added option of a party/celebration theme. I love how the sketch turned out! The paper is Sweet Nothings from SEI (I LOVE how glittery the paper is!) and the image is my new stamp that I just love, Secret Tilda. She is from the Merry Little Collection and can be found at 7Kids.com, but I love how versatile she can be. She made the perfect image for a birthday card! I used my Deckled Spellbinders to punch out the image and the classic circles spellbinders to cut out the sentiment and background piece. I added a piece of brown satin ribbon and bow, a Tim Holtz adage ticket, and Prima flowers. I also inked the edges of the image and sentiment with Tim Holtz Walnut Ink Distress Ink. I added Cotton Candy stickles to Tiilda's lace around her shirt and pants, her hair bow, and the bow on her package.
Here's another angle:
And one more:
Here's a picture of the inside - sorry about the shadow - I need to find a better way to take pictures!
