Happy Birthday Mummy!!!!

Hey everyone!

Today is my lovely Mum's 50th birthday, and here's the card I made for her (which I only finished about an hour ago hehe)

I've used my new 'Sweet Tilda' stamp, and K&co papers, which i got from Sir Stampalot last week. The stitching is all done by hand, cause i'm daft!, then i've added flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, x-cut punched little flowers, pearls, gems and stickles glitter glue.

I've coloured Tilda with distress inks:

Skin - Antique Linen & Tattered Rose

Hair - Walnut Stain & Antique Linen

Dress, Socks & Bows - Barn Door

Green-ness - Peeled Paint

Shoes - Walnut Stain


I'm entering it in these challenges:

For Fun Challenges - Colouring

Stampavie - Anything Goes

Pollycraft - Happy Birthday

Charisma - Pink

Yesterday, we had a nice party outside (in the rain!). All the family and friends came over for a BBQ and lots of cakes! I spent most of Saturday baking, and here's some piccies of the cupcakes i made :)
