1st Birthday card

Not a great picture, I don't really like to use scans but it is quite dark so couldn't use the camera. It is my friends daughters 1st birthday next week so as I have quite a few January birthdays to make cards for decided to get stuck in today, this image is from Crafers Companion Popcorn cd. I imported the backing paper into MCS and had a play to change the colour not that I changed it much but I do enjoy playing.

1st card for 2010 Guest Designer for Crafty Ann

I am one of the guest desiners for Crafty Ann's Challenge blog and this is what I've come up with, the inspiration was to use something new or a new idea or technique and I decided to use my new dies from Cuttlebug.

Ann's designs are all available from her site and they are well worth a look, I have used two different backing papers and of course the squirell which I have coloured with Promarkers. The leaves are cut from silver mirri card and coloured with alcohol inks and I love the way they lift the card.

I do hope you will join in with this new challenge and I'm looking forward to coming over to your blogs to see what you all come up with.
