Happy Happy Birthday Darnell!


Hi, it was Darnell's birthday a few days ago, so I'm late posting this card.
If you haven't visited her blog at djkardkreations then you're in for a treat.

Darnell is a talented card maker with a terrific sense of humour, her posts are always entertaining and a great source of inspiration. You'll probably also learn lots of new words and acronyms!

Ardyth is hosting a linky party to celebrate, there's still plenty of time to join in.

I've used the die cut words from my new Happy Birthday background die. I coloured them with 3 distress inks. At  Moxie Fab World, there's a wonderful words challenge, to use a word die.

The butterfly was stamped, fussy cut and coloured with inktense pencils.
The challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More is to use markers, pencils or pens in your project.

Materials used:
Poppystamps Happy Birthday background die; Darkroom Door butterfly stamp; Entangled embossing folder; Spellbinders square dies; distress inks; inktense pencils; bling.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

  8. Oooh, thank you so much, Cathy!! That was really sweet of you! I love your card design and the beautiful blue ombre coloring of your die cuts and butterfly! I'm also really drawn to that embossing folder. I don't think I've seen that one before and it reminds me of the way I used to doodle in school on my note paper. Remember doing that? One continuous line and not lifting your pencil or pen off the page? I still like to do it sometimes when I'm on a long phone call!

    Anywizzle, I love it! It means so much to me that you dedicated a post to me and entered your pretty card in the linky party at Ardyth's! Mwah!! Darnell

    (Thank you, Maureen!)
