BLING BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A SPECIAL BLOGGING PAL

Good morning blog friends and a particularly warm welcome to my new follower Kristie Goulet who popped over after spotting me commenting on Darnell Knauss' blog.  It's so nice when you find out how someone came to be following you isn't it?  Anyway this is a card I made for a lovely blog friend on a special birthday, one that I thought I'd already posted - but I can't find it on my blog anywhere!!  I know she likes butterflies and bling so I put both on this card for her.

 This is the inside of the card and I had typed a few words on here which I wanted to keep personal so the maestro did his bit and blobbed them out for me, a proper pixi - whatever it is - job!

The image is a Whimsy Stamp called Sweet Blossom which I bought some time ago but hadn't used.  It's a great image and one I loved colouring, even though I didn't get her hair right, why is this so hit and miss with me???

Ingredients

7" x 7" White card blank - Anna Marie Designs
Sweet Blossom stamp - Whimsy Stamps
Premium Dyed Textured Cardstock - First Edition
Timeless Victorian pad - LOTV
Patterns of the Rainbow paper - Aspire
Pierced Circle Stax Dies - Die-namics
Doily (6003/1003) Die - Joy (Noor)
Flexmarkers and Sakura Clear Star 
Ribbon - Create & Craft (old but not quite Alan and Barry era)
Butterflies - Stash (were white but I coloured them with Flexmarkers)
Flower gems - Stash

I actually followed a sketch for this one and then promptly forgot to write down where I got it from and, since I made the card back in January, there's Buckley's that I'll remember now lol!!!

I'm just off to find an image with some sort of Christmas light on it for the next CCC challenge.  This can be tree lights, candles, lamps or lanterns so that is the first decision I have to make - just hope I can do this on time - you know what I'm like making decisions on which paper etc. Duh!!!

Oh well, that's all from me for now peeps, thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog.  The hubster is at work four days next week so I will try to be a better blogger and get around all your blogs.

Take care all of you and thank you for any comments you may have left.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Big hugs to you all
