Its My Party

With Beth on the mend from her bout of tonisllitus I have found a bit of time to get in my craft room and make a card or two!  I am still in the 'inking up the oldies' mode so ...
 here is a fab LOTV stamp that has been rather lacking in ink recently!!  I just love this little girl .. .so like Beth on a bad day!!!  You can really feel her strop!  She is coloured in promarkers and flex pens and the dp is from Stampin' Up.  I added glamour dust to her tiara and dress. I distressed the edges and to give them more of an aged feel, embossed them with old paper embossing powder, before distressing the edges with vintage photo ink.  The flowers are misted and inked to add some aging, and i added some seam binding and a ticket sentiment.  Finally some pearls for that vintage look.

 Challenges:
Craft your days away - distressing
Craft your passion - aqua, blue and brown
Creative stamp friends - old fashioned/antique
Stamp with Fun - cute vintage
Simon Says Stamp and show - song title (Its my Party)
 Sketch Saturday - sketch
2 Sisters - embossing

And have you seen this amazing candy up for grab ... read all about it here.
