Flying high!

I did a big boo boo this week - I made a card especially for the current Michelle Perkett Studio challenge - I thought it was "go green" so I made a card with lots of bright lime green, but it's actually "go green for St Patrick's Day" - d'oh!!  Hey ho, nevermind - that'll teach me to rush!  Here it is anyway...

 


I love this Flying Birthday Girl (got mine from Bunny Zoe's Crafts here) - she is so carefree and fun!  I just wanted to spotlight her so I kept the layout really simple.

I'm off now - thanks for dropping by and a big thank you to all of you that leave me such sweet encouragement!




I am entering my card into the Cupcake Craft challenge for "up in the air" with optional green - TICK! -, the Pixie Dust Studios challenge for "go green" - TICK, TICK! - and Wags 'n Whiskers "Spring creations" - perhaps a smaller tick but I think the colours fit and the weather seems nice too! 




Paper/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock, K&Company Poppyseed Designer pad
Stamps: Michelle Perkett Studio Flying Birthday Girl, Pink Petticoat digi sentiment
Mediums: Copics
Accents:  ribbons from stash, Dew Drop
Tools: Martha Stewart border punch, Fiskars border punch, My Favorite Things mini rolled rose die, Stampin Up window punch

    This is such a gorgeous card. I love the image, which you've coloured so beautifully, and the punched borders are fab.

    Thank you very very much for your kind offer on my blog. I'm quite well stocked at the moment (mum makes cards too), but will keep your very generous offer in mind. I really appreciate it :o)

    Hugs Jo xx
