Big Birthday Wishes

I recently won a goodie bag from Brenda at the Allsorts Challenge 10th birthday celebrations.  Inside the bag were lots of goodies including this gorgeous Santorro stamp.  She's a beauty and could be used for any occasions like birthday, get well soon, thinking of you etc.  I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers in more pastel tones to match my papers.

The backing papers are from a pastels set from The Works and the edges have been inked with a VersaMagic pink chalk ink pad.

I have finished the card off with some stripy/dotty tags from a First Edition backing paper pad with baker's twine threaded through them, three X-cut decorative borders cut out from the backing papers and inked with a pink chalk ink pad, decorative ribbon, die-cut sentiment, gems and some die-cut butterflies from the scraps of backing papers and inked with the pink chalk ink pad.

The Promarkers that I have used are:

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal
Hair - Caramel, Cocoa and Henna
Dress/gloves - Sky Blue, Arctic Blue and Powder Blue
Flower/butterfly - Sunkissed Pink, Coral, Antique Pink, Bright Green and Lime Green.
