18th Birthday!


 Good morning, today sees the start of our April Challenge at Crafty Calendar
the theme is FEMININE
There's a lovely prize of  a Heffy Doodle stamp set for our lucky winner.

I'm sharing the card I made for my niece's 18th Birthday which was back in November. The image is a digi stamp from Polkadoodle, printed onto a square of white cardstock, coloured with copics and then masked. I printed the large numerals onto copy paper, cut them out and used them to mask over the already masked image...if that makes sense... then used a Lavinia stencil with pink and green distress inks to create the background. The dots are Nuvo Stone Drops, which have a pretty shimmer. Finally I added the large die cut sentiment. 

As always there's some lovely inspiration over at the Challenge Blog, hope you have the time to check it out.

Thanks for visiting

Chris

This card is absolutely stunning! The combination of the soft pink and green shades creates such a beautiful, feminine touch. The stencil work and those shimmering Nuvo Stone Drops add a lovely dimension. Such a perfect keepsake for an 18th birthday!
