Happy Birthday Steph!

Good morning Bloggers,
Happy Saturday to you all!
I hope the weather is a bit nicer where you are as it's 
persisting down with rain here!
I have a card to share with you today!
I had so much fun making this one!


The image is Birthday Nikki from Ladybug Crafts Ink!
She was a prize I won in a challenge ages ago.
This is the first time I have inked her up!
I'm so glad I did! She's just adorable!
She made me think of the old Altered Images song Happy Birthday
The papers are from a 12x12inch book which I got in Lidl ages ago!
Not somewhere I immediately think of for my craft supplies but 
I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find these crafty bits.
I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch & Stamp


for the layout. Great sketch!


The bunting banner is from Whimsy Stamps, another prize!
I'm such a lucky girl!


Did you see the tiny wee poodle beside the hatbox?
I coloured everything with a combination of
 Flexmarkers & Promarkers, then distressed the edges & 
inked with a little inkpad,


I made the circle sentiment in my graphics programme!
Silly me got the age wrong!  lol 
The recipient assures me she is in fact only 21!
I also added ribbon from my stash which I tied with a double bow


The inside of the card leaving plenty of space to be signed.


A side view, just because!
I'm going to use a phrase a friend did when talking about one of her creations,
I totally fell in love with this card!!!
Thanks for stopping by & have a fab day!
