Happy Birthday!


Hi!  I have another Saturated Canary card here today.  I'm am beginning to fall for these images and they sure are challenging as they take me longer to color than other stamps.  It's a lot of fun, but once I'm over half way through I get a bit nervous that I may mess up because there is so much time invested in it I don't want to have to throw it away and start over.  I colored this image with Prismacolor pencils and added some Stickles and Frantage to a few areas.  I added a Tim Holtz ticket and a stamped Papertrey Ink sentiment. The paper is by My Minds Eye and the butterfly is cut out of Bo Bunny patterned paper. I inked all the paper edges with Tim Holtz distress ink.  I added flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts, pearls, cluny lace and a doily to finish it off.  Thanks for stopping by! I entered this in the glamour and glitz challenge going on at Saturated Canary.
31   This was picked top 3.
