Enjoy our 3rd birthday celebrations!!!!

Right onto my card - or should I say cards for this challenge.  As it is Aud Sentiments 3rd Birthday I decided to make three different cards.
For my first card I have used a Robyn's Fetish image called "Sunflower 1" which I have coloured in with my beloved Promarkers.
The backing papers I have used are from a new digi set from Bearly Mine Designs called Floral Surprise.  On the plain green card I thought it looked a little bare so I have used my new Sheena Douglass grungy corner stamp.  I have die-cut the image and then sewed twine around the edge and made a matching bow with it.  The card has been finished off with Papermania Glitterations, lace and a Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment.

For my second card I have used a My Heart Pieces image called "Ankhi".  I have coloured her with my Promarkers, die-cut and inked around the edges with a chalk ink pad.
The papers I have used are Bearly Mine Designs Floral Surprise.  I like these papers that Donna creates whereby there is detail in one corner but then the rest is left for you to put your image/embellishments.  I have finished the card off with some small sunflowers, little red flowers, lace, ribbon and a sentiment from a Debbi Moore CD.

For my third card I have used a Robyn's Fetish imaged called "Friends Forever".  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and then stamped over the sky with a dotty stamp to add some light and texture.
The backing papers are again Bearly Mine Designs Floral Surprise. I have cut some of the flowers from the scraps and used as embellishments for the card.  All the centres of the flowers I have added Stickles to the centres.  I have die-cut the image and used a chalk ink pad around this and a doily.  The card has been finished off with some yellow seam binding ribbon, raffia ribbon and a Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment.
