Happy Birthday Hannah

Hi all

Not been around much, work and school holidays do not mix, and not had much time for crafting.

It's my daughters 12th birthday today so thought I would share the card I made her as well as her cake, I am not the best cake decorator, but I have always made my kids a birthday cake and do come up with ideas that are way above my capabilities and always give them a go, anyway this year I decided three days ago I would make a high heeled shoe, which took me all of last night to decorate it as it kept falling apart, was finally satisfied after I stuck all the bits that kept falling apart with lots of  butter icing, here is the result.....



Her card is a shadow box card, using the new fairy images from saturated canary. The clouds are done with a spellbinder cut and distress ink denim I think. the hills I have done using the wave embossing border on the ultimate pro, then all the flowers are hand made using various dies
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

New Kenny K Steampunk image

Hi all

Can't believe I have'nt posted again for two weeks, the time is just flying by at the moment, and I am on annual leave from work at the moment, so you would have thought I would have plenty of time for crafting, but we decided to decorate the kids bedrooms, and then my sister and her partner came to stay so been really busy.

Kenny K released new stamps last weekend and I just had to have them, as I love playing with steampunk images and these images are just fab, I bought all three, the first one I have coloured up is Velocitia using my promarkers, the backing paper with pocket watches on was made using a stamp and distress inks, other paper is papermaina and the hands have been cut out using these papers, The clock die is Mariana, and the stamp die is sizzix  



I would like to enter this card into the following challenges
I love Promarkers- Steampunk/mechanical
Divas by design- Fav colour combo (browns)
