Birthday Cheers

Hi all,

I dont know if it due to the stress of everything here, but I just seem to be coming down with one thing after another at the moment. This morning I have been blessed with a lovely tummy bug!!! couldnt even keep water down, I feel a bit better now and have been nibbling on some arrowroot biscuits to at least put something in my stomach.

Anyway onto todays card, I have used a fabulous LCI stamp called Winestool Nikki and coloured with Promarkers, she is so glamarous and I knew I wanted to give her a red dress and shoes ( I really have a thing about red shoes lol!!!). Once cut out with the nestie, I left her in the frame and then distressed around the edges using Antique Linnen to take away the whiteness of the card. I teamed her with some fabby MME papers which are available at MMCS and made my own flowers using a marianne die. I made the card at the weekend and have kept it for today in the hope that it would have fitted into the LCI challenge - unfortunately this week challenge is no designer paper!!!
