Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello thank you for visiting my blog today. I have been a bad blogger the last few weeks i have to admit it and time wise it will not be much better for me in the near future. On the weekend i will host Lucas "official" birthday party and on the weekends we will work on our renovations (on top of the kitchen we discovered a leak in the laundry room :-( ) while i than must clean up that fine dust from the tiling and grouting. I feel very poorly about not being able to comment back on your blogs.

My card is made with my dear friend Marlene in mind! As you might now her birthday is coming up soon and i wanted to make her a nice birthday card. Puuuhhh the pressure was on :-) I have colored the cute Hanglar girl with my Copic makers and than used on the birdhouse Shimmerz (wed wagon paint) and on the sentiment and outside of the card Golden Glimmer paint. The tag came already in a walnut stain, i have added on top of that 2 different colors of Shimmerz spritz let it dry and than stamped with Stampin up Classic ink (Really Rust - stamped once off) the swirls.

The card sketch can be found over on the Friday Sketcher blog where my dear friend Jeanette came up with this wonderful sketch to follow. Thank you Jeanette - i love this one!
