Hoppy Birthday

As I am heading home to Scotland at the end of next week for Sarah's Hen Party, I am trying to get ahead of myself on the card front. This one is for Sarah's future FIL (father-in-law), whose birthday is whilst I am at home.

Little Green Men

As I am heading home to Bonnie Scotland in a couple of weeks for the summer and knowing that I won't have a lot of time and not having any crafty stuff at home, I thought I would try and get ahead of myself on the card front. My target before I leave is to have all the cards that I need until the end of September done. Today's card finishes off August for me.

Thought a I would a tongue in cheek card for a good friend. My image comes from Prairie Fairy and is called Martian Men and which I coloured in with copic pens and distressed the edges with Adirondack Cabin Fever. The two backing mats are cut from cardstock from BoBunny. The green mat is U Bug Me! Dot and the organe is Orange Citrus Dot. The blue buttons are from my stash.

I am entering it two challenges. The first challenge over at Card Patterns gives me the sketch and the second challenge is Prairie Fairy's Anything Goes Challenge. There is a bit of a coincidence here as Prarie Fairy are sponsoring this week's Card Patterns Challenge.

Hoppy Birthday!

Hoppy Birthday! and no I haven't spelt it wrong, it is the sentiment I have used for this birthday card and which came from the image. The image is Bo Billy Bunny from Prairie Fairy and coloured with copic pens, grey and pink. The background paper is one of the latest free downloadable papers from Jak Heath.

I have entered it into Incy Wincy Designs Challenge 29 and it was only when I putting the card together that I realised that it would be eligible for their current challenge - a colour challenge - using Black and Pink or Red.

Prairie Fairy Friday Challenge - An Oriental Slant

Found Prairie Fairy, the blog and shop, through my crafting buddy, Linda J (aka Pinklilac), so thanks Linda for showing me the way. I have to say that Linda can sometimes lead me astray, and this one of those occasions, ending up doing some shopping at the Prairie Fairy shop (shhh don't tell hubby, lol).

Anyway on to the challenge. Bought this Kanban concept card kit ages back. When I saw it I knew exactly who would recieve the card once it was made up, my travelling companion to and from school, Lynn. To fit in the with the challenge sketch I added a plain purple and gold border across the middle and on a blank tag from the kit added a happy birthday peel off. Instead of using a flower as per the sketch, I used the dragaonfly digitial stamp, one of my first purchases from Prairie Fairy. I printed it off the design on vellum and coloured (on the back or wrong side)the wings in with a sakura pen and the body with a copic pen. Finishing off with three tiny purple gems.

Thanks for popping by.
