Happy Birthday Mum!

'Hope you enjoyed your day! I didn't want to post this until after the real post.  So I should be safe now.

Talking of post, I just received this die in time to make my card and I love the lacy effect it gives.  I left it in place while I used my distress inks around the image, Glossy Accents for the hooves, Stickles for the butterfly trails & flower petals, with a sparkly gem centre to finish.

Deal or No Deal

This card was made for an avid fan of the Channel 4 game show.

 

I've had this idea at the back of my mind for a while so I had found a font similar to the TV show's logo for the letters & numbers & the telephone is a Friday freebie from SJ's Little Musings. I've coloured it with a black promarker & highlighted it with a white gel pen.

This card is mainly about the sentiment (catchphrase)!

Whatever!

This is so teen for me with "ironic pink" (to quote Dee) being ok.

I've used watercolour pencils for the clothes & hair, promarkers for the skin and metallic gel pens for the jewellery.  The letters are die cut & the numbers are hand cut from glitter card. I found a glitter glue almost the same shade as the glitter card for the stripe (similar to the recipient's own).
The glitter card has a lovely sparkle & you can see one or two glints in the photo. The metallic gel pens sparkle much better irl, as does the glitter glue.
I've layered a glittered & a black Lacey die cut circle so as to allow the glitter to show through, please excuse the extra shadow.
The intended shading around the digi was created with a blue water colour pencil. This is my first attempt so some review will be needed.
