Goodness,we have another Birthday in the house today!!
Today I am here to say a very Happy Birthday to my friend Kylie. Many of you know Kylie in the crafting world and will know her as the owner of Addicted to CAS and Addicted to Stamps and More. I met Kylie in the blogging world and was lucky enough to join her Design Teams. We became close in the virtual world and then met this Easter IRL when Kylie stayed with me for a week. We had a ball and now have a friendship I believe will be life long.
She is one special lady and we could not let this day go by without have a Surprise linky Birthday Party for Kylie!! You can all join in by going to Loll's blog and linking up your card there.
Here is my card I made for my very dear friend:
I tired something new to me-stamping and clear embossing the rainbow of butterflies then water colouring them in all the colours of the rainbow. I tried to be creative by just going with the flow around the edge plus adding in a few splatters. I was not so sure about it but I thought Kylie would appreciate my attempt to step outside my comfort zone!!
Well Happy Birthday Hon and who would know you had finally reached 21!!
And don't forget to join the party and link up your card here with our hostess Loll-the link is open for 2 weeks so plenty of time to party on!!
I an entering this into the new challenge The Nixed Media Card Challenge Blog. This is a surprise to me as I thought I would never be able to enter this challenge as my cards are usually not suitable. But I read the definition of a mixed media card on the blog as was very happy to see that this card met the criteria...and I have to say I feel quite proud of myself for achieving this!! The theme for this challenge is 'nature'
I will also enter this into the 'Things with Wing' challenge at Crafty Creations and the 'Follow your Rainbow' at Paper Pretties
