Hi crafty people! How are you doing today?
There’s a new challenge over at the Aud Sentiments Challenge and it’s a super special one as the challenge is 10 years old!
We have two lovely sponsors for this special challenge ( Fabrika Fantasy and Leann’s World 101 )
I am very grateful to have received Dancing Squirrel from Fabrika Fantasy for this project and this is such a cute image to work with. I printed my image out and coloured it with alcohol pens (I’ve got a mix of different brands to work with!) and then I fussy cut the image.
I decided to make a gatefold card so I cut a scalloped circle and a embossed a mat for it with a leaf embossing folder. I added some patterned paper to the front to make it a bit more festive and then a couple of die cut balloons and the sentiment.
I wanted to make the inside a bit more interesting too so I can added some patterned paper with a white square and then a little bunch of balloons .
So I hope you will join us in celebrating our birthday and enter your birthday themed projects. I’d like to say a big thanks to Julie who does all the work behind the Aud Sentiments Challenge and keeps us all on track. I think the 10th birthday is a huge achievement!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog, I hope you will say hi in the comments, it always makes my day 🙂

Great card! Here’s an idiot question: What are alcohol pens?

Not an idiot question at all Kathy! They are alcohol based markers that blend together well for shading. You get all different brands of them e.g. copics, spectrum noirs etc. Hope that helps and thanks so much for your comment 🙂
