Elisha's Birthday 2015

I seem to have lost track of time lately. The past few weeks have been so busy but I'm trying to catch up on my crafting and blogging. I have the card I made for my daughter Elisha for her birthday last week to show you today.

I have made this 8"x 8" card by colouring some white card with green ink for all the mats. The backing paper is from the Kraftyhands Cute Kittens and Puppies CD. I created the panel by roughly inking it with Ripe Persimmon and Wild Honey Distress Inks and using a stamp from Woodware.

This fabulous image is from Oddball Art and I coloured it with Copics. I chose this digi because it reminds me of Elisha and her dog Buddy. I have to say that as Elisha is heavily pregnant and Buddy is a Bichon that neither actually look like the image but I still thought it was perfect for this card. 

I used inks to colour the silk ribbon before tying it in a messy triple bow.

I hand cut a couple of bone shapes and finished the card with some gems.
It's Elisha and her husband's first wedding anniversary at the weekend so I'll be back to show the card I made once they've opened it. Now I must get back to my catching up.... Enjoy your day everyone.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:
