Winter birthday



   At Crafty Cardmakers and More a new challenge begins today the theme of which is winter birthdays.
   I wanted my image to appear through a doorway. I began by cutting an aperture in orange core'dinations cardstock using a Spellbinders arched windows one die. I then embossed the central panel using a Darice brick wall embossing folder. I rubbed over the bricks with distress ink and then used a white pencil to enhance the 'mortar'.
   I coloured the Lacy Sunshine image called Emily - winter wonderland using Promarkers and then matted it behind the aperture. I then matted the whole onto white card.
   The ivy was created using Tattered Lace's Charisma Ivy CD ROM and die. and was adhered to the card using glue gel. The lettering was cut using a mini Tattered Lace die and then separated before gluing individually around the arch.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Without Words - winter birthday
   Crafty Catz - girls only
   Digi Designs - 3 in a row (die cut, digi image, hand colouring)
   The Ribbon Girl - anything goes
   Glitter n Sparkle - add a die cut
   Creative Fingers - anything goes

   Wags 'n Whiskers - embossing
   Crafty Girlz - anything goes/wintry
   Sweet Stampin - wrap up warm
   Lacy Sunshine - tic tac toe (hand coloured image, die cut, use a digi)
   Through the Purple Heart - baby it's cold outside but warm inside
   Creative Moments - anything goes with winter birthday
   Color Your World - anything goes
