Bethany's Birthday

I was very honoured to have been chosen by the  Scrapbook Stamp Society challenge DT as a winner for my entry in their December challenge. As well as being able to choose two new digis I was also offered a GDT spot on the Scrapbook Stamp Society blog to show a couple of my cards.
For my GDT card I used a gorgeous Sherri Baldy digi to make this double fronted birthday card for a wonderful young lady who turned 18 at the beginning of the month.

I took an 8"x 8" card blank and made a flap to go round the front from ivory card. I cut out the '18' with a craft knife and created a frame with a Whimsy Stamps corner die. I then added pink flowers and gems and a lilac bow.

Inside is the card blank front. I covered that with more ivory card and a paper from First Edition Mulberry Kisses. I added a strip of  pink lace and lilac ribbon. The sentiment was computer generated.

I couldn't resist this gorgeous image when I saw it in Sherri's Etsy shop.  She is IMG 303. I coloured her in pinks and lilacs with my Copics and cut round her. I placed her onto pink card that I had die cut with an X-cut scalloped oval die and added some pink gems. I placed her so she is peeping out from behind the 18 on the card front.
I'm pleased to say that the card was well received.
I'd like to thank the Scrapbook Stamp Society challenge DT for this opportunity to showcase my work.
I'm being kept very busy at the moment with preparations for my upcoming Docrafts demos so may not be around much over the next few days. I will be back to show you the fabulous new Docrafts collections towards the end of the week. Until then, have fun crafting.
