Pedal pushing

Hello, there, and welcome!

Those crossed fingers 'n' toes must have worked, 'cos I'm feelin' fine.....hope I've not jinxed meself, now, lol!

I finally got to finish Olivia's birthday card.....yaaaaay!
It's her 6th birthday tomorrow.....wow, can hardly believe it.......and she's had a humungous mob of her girlie friends at her house today, having a hair and nails party.....tons of sparkle and hair clips!
Let's hope it all washes out before they arrive at Church, tomorrow, lol!

Here is Livvie's pretty card..........




The base is white textured card, and I layered a piece of soft peach copy paper and two pieces of DP that came free with a card mag......used a Martha Stewart border  punch on some of the same peach copy paper, then put some pretty, sparkly pink ribbon on top....


Here is that really cute stamp from Pink Gem Designs, and I've marked the day with a pink gem (pretty, eh?).......

This image reminds me so much of Olivia, on her bike!  I coloured it up with my fabby Promarkers, used my deckled edge Nesties to layer it up, added some flat-backed pearls.......

and the cute butterfly was stamped with my Martha Stewart cut & stamp set....love this.....


These are my favourite bit......I MADE THEM MYSELF!....I've never tried to make my own flowers before, but I'm really chuffed at how they turned out.  The leaves were punched, then veins were added with an embossing tool....haven't done that before, either, but it was dead simple and quick.........so what d'ya think?

The whole family will be going to Olivia's house, after Church tomorrow, for birthday cake and gift-giving.....can't wait!

Tomorrow, I'll show you the baptism card I made for a little friend of mine, using the digi stamps I showed you the other day.......so, see you then!

  9. Hi Anne-Marie -
    I'm so glad you've joined the Sugar Creek Hollow handmade flowers challenge this week. Your card is adorable and I'm sure Olivia will love it as much as I do. Your handmade flowers are simply gorgeous - I haven't quite mastered the roses yet so I admire your ability there. Thanks for playing in the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge this week. I do hope you'll return to more of our challenges.
