Happy 9th Birthday, LOTV

This card was made for two reasons, One, for the LOTV 9th Birthday Competition

And two, for my friends birthday as she also happens to love the LOTV images.

I have used the Rosie with Cake Stamp and coloured her in using Promarkers.  The background papers are from a Lucy Cromwell Designstax pad from Papermania. I put a doily behind the main image and cut the image out using a Spellbinders Labels 27 die.

The sentiment is from the LOTV Calendars Stamps set, and was cut out using the Spellbinders star die.  I edged the cut stamps with Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Inks.  The pearls on the background strip are from Kort and Godt.

The flowers are either from my stash or came from Wild Orchid.  The small butterfly die was the Marianne Topirary and Butterfly die set.

I made the candle by tightly rolling a small strip of paper with a small length of black cotton glued to the inside.

Drip Drop Tilda

I recently bought this lovely stamp from Creashop Duymelot, it is one of their own special Magnolia Stamps, and she is gorgeous!
I thought I would use a rocker card cut form the largest of the Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles die, folded in half, as I felt it somehow added to the watery theme.  I carried the theme on by using the Memory Box Bid Splash border die, Elegent Scrollwork and Chesapeake Scrollwork dies.  The glittered backing paper is from the First Edition Summer Breeze paper pad.

 

I coloured the image using Promarker and Spectrum Noir Pens, highlighting the water drops and giving Tilda a small puddle to stand in, with Anita's 3D Clear Gloss Finish.

The ribbon was a white ribbon I had, coloured with the Spectrum Noir pens.  I attached a small umbrella charm to the bow.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid and I added light green Doodle Drewdrops from Polkadoodles.  The leaves are some I found in a shop on my travels in Vietnam!
