Sheree's Birthday Card

So here is card number 3 that I managed to make on the weekend.

This one is for our friend Sheree and we'll be catching up with her for her birthday on Friday night ...

 Our trivia group of friends have a "dinner club" going where when it's your birthday month you get to pick somewhere for us all to go and have dinner together.  We all own what are called "Entertainment Books" (I think my Australian followers may know what I'm talking about?) and it's basically a book full of fine dining and casual dining (along with lots of other stuff) discounts (buy one meal get one free or 25% off total bill).  It's an awesome way for us to get together to celebrate each other's birthdays and we love to use it to check out what is new and yummy in our local area and get it at a bargain lol ...

We always end up having such wonderful nights with too much food and alcohol but always well worth it :D We don't buy gifts for each other but it's an unspoken rule that I will make a special card and there's always cake (not so unspoken lol).

So, I coloured this gorgeous "In the 20's" digi image from The Paper Shelter and she is so much fun to colour as are all their stamps that I own.  I've coloured her with my copics and prismas and have used Tim Holtz distress ink all over the image.  Some recycled cardboard pulled apart to reveal the corrugated board makes it perfect for the Fab 'n' Funky Recycle challenge and the vintage style makes it perfect for the CES Challenge Vintage Dahling ...

I hope you like it and I will be back with a card that I need to make for my bestie Tina whose birthday is this Friday ....

Until next time

Ciao
