Be Yourself card

Hi crafty friends, I am sorry I've been out of action on my blog for a week but I was away for a few days at a wedding (interstate) and then of course trying to catch up with everything, it takes a while and yet I was itching to start cardmaking again! I have my Auntie's 60th Birthday today so we're about to go out for lunch shortly, so I made her this card using a Doodle Pantry digi. I don't have my camera at the moment so I must apologise for the blurry photo, it was taken on my Iphone. Unfortunately I won't be able to take a better one as I'm giving it to her today.

FWAB used:
Elise flourish and flower, Jack black vine leaves
For more products or to find a stockist please visit Flourish with a Bling. If your favourite craft store doesn't stock our products feel free to pass on our details.

I made this card with the following challenges in mind:

Bearly Mine - Anything goes
Card Crafters Circle - Patterned papers
CMC Copic - Twist of orange
The Cutie Pie - Distressing your cards
Desert Islands Crafts - Itinerary - Sentiment, ribbon, patterned paper
Digistamps 4 Joy - Bingo - No pumpkins, no die cuts, no brads, no embossing)
Divas By Design - Let's get cute!
Doodle Pantry - Use a Doodle Pantry image
Dream Valley - Glitter and bling (orange bird is glittery, hard to see in photo)
Hiding in my Craft room - You pick fave colour combo (orange, blue, black)
Inky Impressions - Birthdays
Jellypark Friends - Back to nature (birds on branch)
Lexi's Creations - Special Birthday
Mad for Markers - Use Y and/or YR copics (Y17 claws, YR15 & 16 for bird)
My Mum's craft shop - Sentiments
Natalie & Amy - Colour me happy (fave colours)
Papelitos stamps - Anything goes
Paper Pretties - 2 or more circles (clock and number)
Penny's Challenges - Lots of layers
Pile it on - Make it sparkle (bird sparkles)
The Ribbon Girl - Add sparkle (the orange bird is sparkly, sorry photo not great)
Shelly's Images - Roll 'em - Flowers, bling, digi
The Squirrel & the Fox - Flowers, hats or horses
Stamp n Doodle - Use a digi
Stampin' for the weekend - Anything goes
Sweet Stampin' - All that glitters (bird sparkles)
The Pink Elephant - Favourite colouring medium (copics)
Through the craft room door - Anything goes
