Hello!!
This week's Scrapbook Sisters Card challenge is Birthday Greetings, and I'm really sorry for pre-empting things last week, but Karen was really rather poorly and the challenge post didn't happen so my Birthday Greetings part 1 card - here - kinda gave the game away... so sorry (embarrassed face!!)
Anyway, I decided to make a bit of a funky card this time round, and it ended up with a bit of all sorts on there, but I kind of like it, and check out the wall behind her - I got busy with the very much neglected brayer (after I had washed the dust off it!!) and inked up my TH brick wall embossing folder, how great does it make it look!! I think I'll be doing this MUCH more in the future... LOL, don't say you weren't warned!!
Without further waffle from me, here's my card
Did you notice it's NOT square!! Square is my go to shape, but it's good to make something different, even if different is just a rectangle!! The layout is based on one of the lovely Card Patterns ones from a week or so ago
I used one of my Kenny K images and coloured her up with my copics... and I think she looks fabulous, even if I do say so myself!!
These papers are by the MME Father and Son collection, but I think they work well with this image... and the fabby wall as they don't scream BOY at you, and are perfect for girls who're into pretty, but not pink!! :-). The scallops are cut with a MS punch, and I dropped it right down so only the top bits were showing.
The Lace, ribbon, button and flowers are all from my horde (stash no longer covers it!) and the tickets are from my PTI set (so wish they were readily available in the UK, as the postage to the UK is horrendous!!) stamped onto white CS and distressed.. A LOT.. I should have worn gloves as I looked like I'd been fingerprinted :-D
Hope you like it - please can I enter these challenges
More tomorrow, thanks for looking!!

P.S. If you haven't noticed I've got a rather yummy blog candy on offer here, why not give it a go?!
