Birthday Love*

Good morning... Happy Monday and last day of the month! Yesterday was my lazy Sunday. We spent the morning watching the Moto 2 and then the MotoGP races. My favorite, Marquez, crashed out again. So frustrating - He is a good rider! After that I went to have lunch with my hubby. After that it was time to come back home. I spent the day coloring and have the next image all layered. I just need to create the card. I'm hoping I can work on that tonight. We will see :)  We watched the Indy Car final race yesterday afternoon/evening. Then Michael called and I ran to pick him up from work. When I got home we turned on the Moto 3 race that he hadn't watched yet and started to watch that. I love the Moto Races! I just wish we had some Americans in it.. we have one, but he is never at the top. I do have my favorites though :)  Fun racing! And yesterday was wet racing too!  Alright... time for me to head off to work now. I hope you all have a great week! Next Monday is a US holiday, Labor Day.. AND .. my father-in-law heads back to Australia next Monday too. He has been with us for two months. It has been really good to get to know him :)

I managed to post one card every day this month! That will most probably NEVER happen again!! HAHA! This is the last card I have finished. We will see if I can finish that one tonight. So here is my card for today!









For this one I used a Tiddly Inks image - Close To My Heart. I colored this image with Copic markers. I did a small amount of layering with only layering the heart, arms and wings. The heart easel was cut using my Cameo Silhouette. I added a few swirls that are Sizzix. The tags are Sizzix. The small hearts were  punched and I added gems to them. I also added a few gems to the tags. The tags were put onto the card with a green sparkly brad. I did add a small amount of black ink to the Turquoise swirls. All of the papers are scraps except for the green paper that I cut the card base from. That was bought from Michaels.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Hair: BG000, BG53, BG57
  • Dress and Socks: G40, G43, YG63, G28
  • Wings: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR24
  • Heart and Circle on Shoes: R20, R22, R24
