Australia Day Birthday

Happy New Year!!  Wow it has been a while, I can't believe I haven't made a card in so long!  Well when I saw the challenge at Scrapbook Fantasies I just had to join in. I'm using a digi stamp from Make it Crafty and a card sketch from Mojo Monday.


I had a lot of fun with this image since not only is it for Australia Day, but my Mum's birthday too - both are on January 26th!  I coloured the image in traditional green and gold and the girl wears gumnuts and eucalyptus leaves in her hair and dress, so I added a little gold stickles for shimmer.  The background looks really pink here, but it's actually red and the velvet ribbon is a pretty green.  I wanted to add some red and blue from our flag too.

I am going to join in with the following challenges:

  1. Party Time Tuesday - Party theme
  2. Cuttin' and Stampin' - Anything goes with something new (the digi image)
  3. Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - Make it girly
  4. Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog - Anything goes
  5. Glitter 'n' Sparkle Challenge Blog - Anything goes
  6. Crafty Calendar Challenge - Let's celebrate
  7. Totally Gorguss - Ribbon
  8. Card Makin' Mamas - Anything goes
  9. Heck of a challenge - Something new (the digi image)
  10. Natalie & Amy - One for the girls
  11. Crafty Sentiments Designs - birthday
  12. Crafty Boots Challenges - Anything goes
  13. Cheerful Stamp Pad - Ribbon
  14. Fitztown Challenge Blog - Anything goes
  15. Great impressions stamps - Something new (the digi image)

It does look pink! It's still a wicked cute image and great sketch too. My sister's birthday is the 26th. I'll have to regale her with my knowledge about Australia! Ha! So sorry! Fitztown only allows ten maximum challenge entries per post. That comes directly from the store. Thanks for joining Fitztown though! It was great to look at your project!
