Stamp Something {birthday} using Friday Sketchers

Etter at jeg har laget en del kort i vinterlige farger, fikk jeg bare så lyst å bruke litt farger. Med en øøørliten drøm om lysere tider laget jeg dette bursdagskortet.

I wanted to make a birthday card using some colours, as my latest cards have been quite blue and grey. The challenge at Stamp Something is "Birthday something" - how easy isn't that! There's always need of a birthday card! I used Mumur's sketch at Friday Sketchers to make this one. All pattern papers are Basic Grey, from their card kit of "pheobe".

The Ladybug and friends image is painted with Distress Ink refillers - 'scattered straw' for the hair, 'aged mahogany' for the dress and 'broken china' for the flower and the details.

Close-up from some details... The mulberry flower from Papirloftet is glued to some tull. I've also added some scrappers floss and a pink pearl thread here.

Flere pirkehønedetaljer... her har jeg brukt hullene i tyllen til å tre både floss og perler gjennom her og der, sånn at de holder seg på plass :)

More details; I've thread the floss and the pearls through the holes in the tull, to make them stay where I wanted them to :)

I'll show you the inside as well - this is one part of the card...

... added some love...

... and this is the other one, where my greeting will be written...
... with tull and buttons and floss in the corner.

Before I stop writing, I will congratulate all my friends in USA with their new president! I'm sharing this happiness and hope with so many Norwegians, the radio and TV and newspapers are filled with the inauguration of Barack Obama. Hurray - and have a lovely evening :)
