It's birthday time at For Fun this week!

Hi everyone! I am back again with another card for the For Fun Challenges. It is already one year since Helen started this challenge blog and this week it's time for birthday celebration, with that in mind it's not strange that the theme for this weeks challenge is

Birthdays!

This time we are sponsored by the lovely Michell Perkett Studio. Please do visit this lovely digi store. There is some wonderful digis.

Michelle Perkett is an artist who believes the world can always us more kindness, innocence, inspiration and color. She lives in beautiful Southern California, and has an incredibly unique, and positively happy style in her art. She has a magical store filled with angels, fairies, mermaids, and wonderful images, bound to delight you!

Michelle’s first love is her art. She has run her art business for over 6 years and is spreading worlwide with Etsy and devoted crafters. She tries to live the way she creates her art; with love, happiness, peace, harmony, joy, friendship, kindness and inspiration and hopes that she inspires other people to do the same.

Lately I've started to use more and more digi stamps and that means more and more promarker and copic colouring. For me that comes with a "cleaner" style of my cards as well. This one is no exception but with some extra swirls and punches it becomes a little more. The digi stamp I've used this time is called "Bella the Baker". I've added some glossy accent to all of the flowers for some nice shine. Coloured with promarkers she is. The flowers are made with a die from Marianne's and so is the swirls. A heart boarder punch from MS is used along with some ribbon that was a free bee from a Magazine some year ago. The designer paper is from my friend Donna's store, and I actually think this is one of here freebees. Not certainly sure as I have a smaller mountain of her papers printed on my desk. Easy acces you know. :)

So I do hope you will join in with our birthday celebrations over at For Fun this week. We would love to see you there! And with this, love n hugs for you all,

Marie
