Happy birthday....

I adore this die Happy birthday that came in one of the Crafter's Companion Year of Crafts boxes. I cut it out a couple of times in white and one in a brushed silver cardstock which I don't know where I got it from. I colored this cutie from Conie Fong Twinkle Emily with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. The papers for the background are from a paperpad by Crafter's Companion.

Thank you....

 Ohh I am so loving the gnomes from Twistoon Digistamps, I just can't get enough of them hahahah but was a little bit disappointed to see this stamp Maggie does some coloring, as It did not have my favourite Spectrum Noir marker so I decided to make it into my favourite Illustrator marker hahahahaha ok not the best but I did it ;) I can not color another type of marker with them hahahahaha

So I colored her with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers as those I have downstairs to play with and all other markers are upstairs in the craftstudio. I created the background with the Spectrum Noir Opaque Fuchsia inkpad and the Midas Blue Organza and Amethyst inkpads on the Gelpress plate.

I would like to play the following challenges....
