A Birthday Party.....

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I've been awol these pass few days but I went to a funeral on friday and then saturday,sunday and part of yesterday I was... well no we were hubby,Katy and me helping my cousin sort out her new craft shed...Her husband started it for her in November last year but unfortunatley he died in December so it was never finished and she hadn't felt like going in there or doing any crafting but thankfully she is feeling a bit more positive and wanted to start using it so we have painted,laid a floor,put up a work bench and cupboards and then we got to put all of her nice things out..when I came back yesterday afternoon my friends daughter came over it's her birthday today she's 6 and she wanted to make cakes with Katy and me for her party which we have just come back from...Her Mum my Friend bless her won't mind me telling you she can't cook the amount of disasters she's had...Her daughter didn't want a big birthday cake she wanted cupcakes one each for her friends and fairy cakes.. so here they are she was a bit heavy with the sugar on some of the fairy cakes...


I needed to make her a card and she loves Tilda and cooking so what better than this adorable Tilda....


I have coloured her with polychromos pencils blended with sansador cut her out and mounted her onto blue and pink card. I have used antique linen distress ink around the edge and added a bit of sparkle round her feet..I have used a MS punch around the page punch to make the top white mount and then layered this onto aqua,blue and pink card....

 

The ribbon and flowers are from my stash.... the sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs because she does make me smile, and the leaves are punched out with my McGill punch....

I have just noticed a couple of challenges which I would like to enter,
