Marty's B'day

Hello Beautiful people,
Life is just full on these days and passing by so quickly.  Can you believe the month of March as flown and we're into April.  I was lucky enough to work the craft show last month and boy were we busy for the 3 or the 4 days.  So many new goodies to entice everyone.  I managed to come away with some awesome stuff myself.  I got my hands on this cute stamp set from TE.  Aren't they just too cute...  I got to make this card for a friend turning dirty 30 so he said.  The nite was full of fun and lots of yummy food with super people.

Happy Friday everyone,
I discovered the Taylored Expression dies with the cutest stamps that go with them.  The best thing about them are, you buy them together in the one package.  I used Tim Holtz Distress markers to colour them quickly. SU bottons for the embellishment, Elizabeth Craft dies from the tree set to make the clouds, Sizzix tag die from the "Be thankful" and a corner rounder for the tab.

Butterflies

Hiya
The weather is all over the place atm cold on some days and mad as a hatter hot on the other days.  Mother Nature at her best and it must be the time of the month for her too.  We just had a Stitches and Craft Show and once again we're off to the show.  So many new things to lookie and buy...  Now to try and put them to good use.
I finally got my hands on some of Tim Holtz butterflies and thought of making this card.  I used SU makers to mist it over the images and glimmer mist in the back ground.  A pity the photo doesn't show you the gold shimmer on the card.  SU punches, stamp, ink, cardstock, net lacing.  I used Tim Holtz markers to colour the stamped image gently breathed on it to remoisten before stamping the image.
