Let's celebrate

Heya! Who's counting the days til summer holidays finally begin? I definitely am. I won't go to any longer holidays abroad this summer, but I hope to do one or two one-day trips aound my country. Maybe to the Coast. That wouldn't be bad. ;)


I never have any birtday card on hand when I need it so I decided I would make a few. And this is one of them. I fell in love with this adorable image from Yumi and Fumi handmade. It's perfect for birthday cards as well as for other occassions. And it's a pleasure to colour too. :) I coloured Fumi with Promarkers and paper-pieced the gift she's holding with champagne sparkle paper - it's very beautiful in person. The other papers are various scraps that I had in my drawer. I distressed the edges with TH tea dye and antique linen distress inks. The ovals are made with Spellbinders die, butterflies are Cheery Lynn die, the leaves and the big flower are Marianne design dies, the middle flower is TH die and the small flowers are made with my craft punch. I also used 2 different embossing folders - Craft concepts' cottage floral embossing folder and  Cart us' trendy flowers embossing folder. In the center of each flower I added a purple crystal from my stash. In the left upper corner you can also see a skeleton leaf peeking from behind. I bought a pack of these leaves ages ago (of course back then they were something I couldn't craft without), but never used any of them. *sigh* I even forgot I had them. So now that I re-discovered them I hope to put them to some use.

I would like to enter my card to the following challenges:
The sketchy challenge: Kylie's sketch
Yumi & Fumi handmade: Time to celebrate
Crafts and me: Something old (that skeleton leaf has been in my drawer forever lol)
Created with love: Anything goes
Charisma cards: Lots of layers

Have a beautiful day! Hugs! xx

    Your card looks lovely in the soft lilacs.

  9. Beautiful birthday card Cebelica. Gorgeous coloring and die cuts. I have those skeleton leaves in my stash and me too never used them. I do envy teachers for having the time off in the summer, that's a great reward for working hard all year.
    Hugs,
    Katie
