Dreaming of sunnier climbs I have used the summery Anya from the Rain, Snow, Shine set for today's card.
I have cheated a little though as my printer is broken, so I have drawn the image of Tash instead (designers privilege-lol!). I thought Nikki's sketch was wonderful to use and I have chosen Imaginisce 'Cool Pool Chatter' and 'Getting Hotter Need Water' glitter papers for a summery feel, the sunshine is getting to me! I have coloured Tash with Pro markers (a gift from Colette), and used Prima flowers, embellished with Stickles.
Thanks for looking, Katie.
I love his cheeky little face, and thought he would go well with the Kiss Toads sentiment from High Hopes. I have chosen to create a vintage style card with a distressed feel, using brown ink to age the edges of the image and sentiment, and glazing the frog with Crackle Accents (I love this stuff, first time I have used it and think it is ace!)
I used my large Nestie heart to cut the card base, and added two smaller hearts for decoration, along with a Chocolate Bling blossom (also from Imaginisce).
Thanks for looking, Katie.
The main DP is Pink Frosting with Sprinkles, and is double sided and glittery! The Celebrate brad and Make a Wish sentiment are also from the All kinds of Happy range - the sentiment from the Delicious Wishes rub-on sheet and the brads are Sweet Treats. I Stamped Hazel 3 times and water coloured her. I then Decoupaged my images, layering with foam squares, and added Stickles to her hairband and eyelids, and also a little on the cupcake swirl! 
I think she looks so happy and defiantly reminds me of the Birthday Girl!
For my card I used the Imaginisce Shake, Rattle and Roll rub-on's. This is a great sheet with lots of cute images and sentiments. I choose the baby in the pram, sweet boy wording and rattle. The main image was layered onto a white Nestie Tab, and textured blue and green card stock. The Blossom Button brads are also from the Imaginisce Baby Powder range, and I have added a blue and white spotty ribbon from my stash.
This card was made by Col, and i just love the wacky colours. The images are coloured with water colour pencils and layered onto Imaginisce DP. The flowers are Prima and finished with Stickles.
The large flower and Happy Birthday sentiment are from the Imaginisce range, as is the skull stamp used. This is a real cute little Snag'em stamp, and I have used it on Shrink Plastic, to create button sized embellishments. Mac has been embellished with Glossy Accents and Stickles.
Thanks for looking, Katie.
