Happy Monday everyone, hope this will be a good week for all! I'm having to work again, for 6th consecutive day, covering for a sick colleague so not getting much crafting time unfortunately. Hoping she might be well enough to return to work tomorrow ;o)
The challenge this week at Crafty Cardmakers is Special Birthdays - I didn't have anyone in particular in mind when I made this card but but I used a few different challenges for inspiration (listed at the bottom).
The papers I used are Basic Grey Lime Rickey, I took some chipboard numbers and covered them with one of the papers, sanding the edges to define them, I also added glossy accents and a touch of extra fine glitter to the spots to make them stand out a bit - the Stampin Up punched bird got the same treatment. The Happy Birthday banner was stamped then coloured with Promarkers and cut out, I made the little holes with a sharp pointy tool (don't know what it's called!) and added some linen thread to string it all together.
