A Vogue Birthday Card

To crate my card I used a clipart image and merged it with a sentiment from TLC - the freebie from challenge #4 - isn't it a wonderful sentiment!

I added Stickles to her eyelids and Glossy Accents to her red lipstick.

Her earring is a sewn on cluster of sequins and a pearl bead.

I would like to enter this card into the TLC challenge here.

A DAY FOR DAISIES : GENTLE BABY

  
It's my turn to share with you my card with one of  the beautiful Christmas images in the store. 

I am always drawn to Nativity scenes on Christmas cards, and to this one in particular because of the tender, loving expression on Mary's face.  The image is aptly called Gentle Baby.
 Copics were used to colour the image, and Stickles for the star.  The background is printed (digital) paper and I used some pearls and organza embellishments.
