I cannot believe that my little niece will be celebrating her 1st birthday on Thursday. Time, as they say, really does fly! I have been looking forward to using this cute little Gorjuss girl image and was delighted by how quick and easy she was to colour.
The background was created with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and a mixture of Hero Arts and The English Stamp Company images. There is a generous amount of Tattered Angels Pearl Glimmer mist carefully spritzed on for a subtle shimmer. I used Diamond stckles on her wings.I punched out the butterflies and tiny flowers from white paper coloured with my Cool Aqua Promarker and distressed with Tumbled Glass. The 'sentiment' was printed on my PC after I had finished the background. The sentiment always needs to be printed last as Distress ink can make it blur and bleed.
Hopefully we'll get to see our sweet little niece this weekend. My sister-in-law tells me that she is into everything and full of fun and smiles... can't wait to see her!Happy crafting everyone!

Hi Jo,
I have just got home...been helping Wendy move house, my arm's are aching, so not got much energy left to anything now.
Love the card, the image is perfect, I bet your little Niece will love it
I love your colour combi, not one I would have gone for till I saw this, it's gorgeous...
Hope things are good for you, I was going to email you but I can't move my arm's very well at the moment...it's hard just writing this...lol
I think an early night is on the card's for me, I have the paper to start James room but that will have to wait...it will either be TV in bed or a little reading of the book's you left me

She's so pretty! I love the dainy embellishments you've used like the butterflies and flowers. Plus, the colors are so sweet and girly, too!
Such a Sweet card Jo...Love that Spun Sugar distress ink....
ok, this is INDEED gorgeous, and i love all the brilliant little touches you have used to make it extra special... (diamond stickles! perfectly coloring! punched accents!) ...but my very VERY favorite bit is that divinely stamped & misted background...and then you've given me a "LIGHTBULB MOMENT" with the thought that after creating that loveliness you RAN THE PAGE THRU YOUR PRINTER to add the sentiment!!! WOW!!! i would never, EVER have thought of that...and now i am sure i will use that idea **CONSTANTLY**!!! THANK YOU!!!
(ps: & happy birthday to young miss sian...i hope she will enjoy the first of many very wonderful celebrations with her auntie! ♥♥♥)
I LOVE that you've been adding these custom sentiments! What a WONDERFUL thing! As much as I ADORE STAMPS... there's just no way to have the right sentiment for EVERYTHING! Brilliant. I am recently motivated to collect upbeat and funny sentiments, and this reaffirms the need, and a way to do that. I love this card, and surely you must be a most fantastic auntie! {Lucky lil' thing!} Hope it was a wonderful celebration!
THis is the cutest little card! Love the images and accents!
