Anya Treats Birthday Card

Well hello!

Hope you're all having a nice weekend.  It's been quite sometime since my last post, so I'm popping in today to share a card I made for a friend's birthday.  I'll try to keep it short.

I decided to go with summery colors using bright/light yellows, oranges, and some hints of peach.  The card base is a 6x12 piece of DCWV patterned paper.  Perfect for what I was going for.  I picked Anya Treats from TGF for my image, colored her with Copics and instead of fussy cutting her, kept some of the white paper so I could add some loopy doodles around the edge. The flowers are from Recollections that I have had for years, added a doily, some flat-backed pearls and a computer generated sentiment.  Glad to use up some of my older supplies that I think are still so pretty.

I've been using my WOS clear glitter brush pen a lot lately. I love how it gives a nice shimmer to the bright colors, and sometimes, like up top, it photographs nicely.

One down, several more to go.  :)  Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday as Monday will be here way too soon.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Joanna!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

Today over at the Lollipop Crafts blog we are celebrating Joanna's birthday!!  Joanna, wishing you a blessed birthday, with lots of hugs, kisses, fun and fond memories!  Happy Birthday!!  In honor of her birthday I'm sharing this birthday card I made using Anya Treats from The Greeting Farm.

 I used Kim Yu's sketch for September along with some background stamps and some vintagy colors.  I went with another short bob hair style especially with the hat she's wearing and the color scheme, they all really seemed to work well.  Matted all the panels with dark chocolate brown cs and found some matching ribbon.  I colored the pearls on the top with a Copic marker to match the rest of the card.

This is a shot of the panel with the sentiment.  I used a couple CTMH sentiment stamps this time, love the font.  If you look real close you can see the shine on the hearts.  I used a little glossy accents for that.  You can probably see it a lot better here...

Gonna have to add this girl to my favorites list, she's so fun!  If it's your birthday today, well then Happy Birthday!!  Wishing you a blessed day as well.  Take care and Mahalo for stopping by!!  Have a fantastic cupcake filled day!! : )

Hugs,
Leanne
