BIRTHDAY FOR A DIVA

Happy Sunday, this should really be a short post because I have got to get dressed and get out really soon. I can not believe the productive week that I have had. And to prove it, here is another card that I just finished. This one is also a birthday card. Although, I have not decided who I will give it to, I do have several more birthdays coming up in the next couple of months. So there is plenty of time to make a decision.

A little about the card. The sketch is from Friday Sketchers: I chose it because of the many layers. The circle on the bottom is embossed with the Cuttlebug and I think it is the bubble folder. I did not write down the name before I threw out the packaging. I also used this on the square of taupe color paper, which is Bazzill the brown that the circle is cut from is Paper Studio. The brown stripe is Basic Grey. The orange under the image is from DCWV safari Chic. The orange squares is from My Minds Eye Home. It seems that every company had something that I needed for this card.

The image is from Bugaboo Stamps I have had it for quite a while and never used it. To be truthful, I have several of the images and have never used any of them. I think that I sometimes forget just what I have. They are digital and I really do love them. Some of them are just down right funny. The owner is Jodie Mackrel and you really should go by and check her out. Why don't I show you my card and then finish telling you about it.

I really love the way that this turned out. The flowers are from Recollections at Michaels. They were only 99 cents. The colors were just perfect for this. I colored this image with my Copics. The colors I used are E25, E13, E02, E42, E09,  for the skin and hair. The ones that I used for the clothes and accessories are colors that I don't use often. They are Y32, Y35, Y38 and my clear spica glitter pen. I colored the pearls, which are from Martha Stewart and I got them when they were clearanced out, with Y38. Around the edges of the images I used distressed ink in Antiqued linen.  I only used a small amount, I did not want it to over power the card. The sentiment is from my clearanced Michaels set of 8. The brads are from my stash.

If you know me, you know that this card is for a few challenges also.
