Happy Birthday Alexandra!!

Tuesday, June 16th. Guess who turns 9? This is for the daughter of a friend and colleague, a very girly girl who loves pink. Since this is SO far outside my comfort zone, I had to post a picture of it to prove I can make something light and frothy. The main paper is a piece of saved handmade paper with some satin stitching. I added some DP, pink gauze ribbon and some pearls. Hope she likes it.

  1. I want to see more of this card, girl! Let's see it all! The stitching looks gorgeous. You appear to do "light and frothy" very well!

    Hugs,

  3. This is very pretty, she will love it! I am going to have to get that folder!

    I have seen people say that they use mineral oil, baby oil... with chalks. I have been using it but don't know if I am "doing it" right or not! I chalk the image and then rub a q-tip in the baby oil and then rub it on the chalked image. It makes the image brighter and blends in pretty good. It works well with flesh tones since I don't have the right color of Copic Markers for that yet!
