Inventory Challenge #49




Good morning everyone....wishing you all a very happy Friday! Danielle and I and our talented teammates invite you to another Inventory Challenge. This week the theme is "Happy Birthday".

I am a great admirer of Camilla's beautiful creations and I love her style, so I attempted to case one of her stunning cards following a little tutorial she had on her blog enhancing her lovely images. She is a master with distress inks. I colored my Tilda with copics. It's not nearly as beautiful as Camilla's, but I'm actually happy with it! You can see Camilla's tutorial HERE.
I used lovely papers by Pion Design and I made a bunch of tags with one of my manila file folders. The beautiful lace was a gift from my sweet and incredibly talented friend, Claudia.

Now I would love to invite you to visit my teammates and view their amazing works of art:
DANIELLE
RENE
CATHY-LYNN

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I am very grateful for your interest. Hugs, Christina

    Gorgeous card Christina and I love the soft distressed ink coloring on this cute Tilda. I am not good at coloring images with distressing ink. It is one of the techniques I need more practice :o)
