I made a very special card for this week's sketch. Friday was my oldest daughter's 7th birthday and we made it such a fun day for her. First, she got to wear a birthday crown all day at school and she loved all the birthday wishes from her teacher and school friends. Then I ate lunch with her at school and brought my lunch in a bright pink Hello Kitty lunch tote, which made her laugh. I had to laugh at all the bartering for lunch items - "I'll trade you my GoGurt for your cookie!" kind of deal. Some things never change. For dinner, we dropped off her brother and sister at their aunt and uncle's house and took Avery to dinner at Hibachi - a Japanese steakhouse. Yumm-o! It was such a treat to have Avery all to ourselves for the evening. I love getting to chat with her about her life without the interruption of her siblings. Oh, the card! Right - sorry, big bunny trail there. One of Avery's absolute favorite stamp sets she uses to make cards is Sweet Celebration (she's got a good eye, what can I say?) and so it was important to me to make a card with one of the images. What little girl wouldn't want a cake bigger than she is? I colored the image with Copic markers and then added a little Diamond Stickles for some pizazz.
The Sweet Sunday Stampers also have samples to show you today, so don't forget to stop on by to see:
Now it's your turn! Have fun!

recipe -

Hi Karen
ReplyDeletelovley sketch as always
just a quick question -
When using a digital stamps, how do you get the image from not 'bleeding' when you use promarkers???
I have tried but always get the 'bleed' any ideas????
