On the DT we were really lucky to have the chance to work with some of Michelle's fab images, and here's my card...........

I so enjoyed making this card, and went for this image/colour scheme as I made it for a friend whose  birthday was on Monday, Valentines Day! (Happy Birthday for Monday Sammy!!)

I coloured her using my Promarkers, and used my labels nesties to cut, mat and layer.

 I used 2 digi papers (gingham and hearts) red cardstock and Card Candy dots, along with some lace ribbon. The sentiment was made on the computer, using Countryhouse font.

So, there you have it! Why not pop over to FOR FUN CHALLENGES and join our celebration this week, you never know, you might just win some of Michelle's fab digis! Oh yes, there's more!  Helen, who owns the blog, is also putting together some birthday candy as a 2nd prize this week, so there's double the chance of winning....Yay!

I would also like to enter the 'your choice' challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio .
