A Birthday Card

Hi folks!
I thought I'd best put you out of your misery!
Some of you have already had a peek at this card!
I hit publish instead of save when I added the photos & didn't have time 
to write up the proper post until now! Sorry! 


I made this card for a friends birthday.
digital stamp from The Stamping Boutique
I played with the image in my graphics programme & merged two 
to make them look like they were clinking glasses!
I coloured up the images with a mix of flexmarkers & promarkers.
Then chalked the edges with a little
 Colourbox Cats Eye Fluid Chalk Inkpad.

The papers were a freebie with a magazine ages ago!
I'm trying to use up as much of my stash as I can before I get
some new bits & pieces!
The lace & ribbon were from Dainty Paperie.
The plain paper is just normal printer paper.
I got a big pack of assorted colours from Lidl.


I decorated the inside of the card with a co-ordinating paper.


The sentiment tickets are both from The Crafty Pad.
I chalked them with my little pad too.
Thanks so much for dropping by!
It's always good to see you!
I'm off to look for some challenges to enter my little card in:
