Chloe's 18th Birthday card (All Dressed Up images)

Hi crafty friends,

It was our daughter's 18th Birthday last month and in Australia turning 18 is one of the biggest birthdays as this is the official age of being able to get your driver's licence, drink alcohol and vote. 

Every year I try to make her a special card so this is an extra large one to fit all the party girls in! All these fashionistas are from All Dressed Up. I used a city die and window dies to create the outdoor scene. The papers are glitter and metallic.

A Birthday Gondola Ride card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I had a lot of fun creating this card. I fussy cut The Paper Shelter images out and then used my oxide inks to create the background. This was a bit of an experiment with my embossing ink pen to scribble lines then add some white embossing powder to create a wave effect. I accidentally smudged the funny little seagulls I doodled on, I think they were a mistake to start with but, I can usually find a way to cover errors up but there was nothing I could do to fix this. So we'll say the big seagull is travelling so fast he's leaving a trail lol.
