Hang Out The Flags!

The theme this week at Scrapbook Sisters is

 "Bunting"

I coloured up a Pure Innocent Digi image,fussy cutting it out and replacing the bird (on the original digi) with a stamped Balloon and placing a parcel by the birthday girl's feet. After adding glossy accents I added a glittered peel off number from my long forgotten pile, wish I'd thought to add this prior to adding the gloss as I think it would look better. The Bunting is randomly cut from off cuts of bazzil, edges are inked, stitching drawn on and letters stamped to make the birthday girl's name.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Sassy Cheryls 119, Birthday Celebration,

Bunny Zoe's 25, Girls, girls, girls,

DMC40, Seeing spots,

Lexi's 67, Happy Birthday,

MIM93, Anything goes,

SFC2312, Shaped card,

Cutie Pie 20, Stitching,

Stampalicious, Shaped card,

Catered Crop, Bunting,

Oldie but Goodie, Bunting.

Childhood Memories.

It's time for a new challenge with the Southern Girls and challenge 22 is Childhood Memories. I must admit that I was rather pleased that the international sponsor for this fortnight is Heather Ellis meaning that I got to play with one of her lovely images,the NZ/Aus sponsor is Mad for Markers.

The Paper has been in my stash for simply ages just waiting for the right image to go with it. This cute little Pure Innocence image 29 is just perfect for the job.
  

I had a little trouble at first colouring her with the Copics as I added shading for the features,lol,the poor child ended up looking a bit like a pig. I got there in the end though and I love the way she now looks.

I would like to add that the nearest I would have got to a bird as a child was the time I opened the door and knocked one out by accident. Boy did I get hysterical,I thought I'd killed it! have had a bit of a phobia ever since.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Craft Room,Summer birthdays,

Digital Tuesday 117,Flower power,

Paper Minutes 172,Red and Lime green,

CYPC64,Use red,
