Happy birthday

Hello everyone !

and happy Wednesday ! Today over at Stampotique it is Coby's turn to set the challenge and she chose "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". I didn't want to go down the wedding route so I thought of this :

It is a birthday card and I started out with glueing some old bookpaper on a card panel. This is my 'something old". First I gave it a coat of gesso and then I coloured it with Lindys Magicals in the colours 'Bodacious Blush' and 'Cowabunga Copper'.  I also splattered some of the same colours over the top. This is my 'something new' as I only bought these the other day. Next I used a cookie cutter which I 'borrowed' from the kitchen and stamped randomly on the card front. I also used a text stamp but it is very subtle. I stamped the main image on the card front and on some white card stock and gave her a 'blue' dress. I coloured her with Copic Markers, cut her out and glued her to the card on to the one that I stamped on there. That way you can cut off the small bits like her hair and the flowers. 

I doodled around the edge of the panel and stamped the 'happy birthday' and then adhered the panel to the card. That was it...

I used the following stamps:
