I'm thrilled to have a chance to use this wonderful recently released Through The Ages 40 digital image to create a sparkling Springtime birthday card.

This view shows my Copic-filled image.  Once my Copic color was dry, I painted a thin coating of Firefly Stickles over my numbers and Yellow Stickles over my candle flames.  As I intend to give this card to a dear friend who is in her 40's, I used my Copic black multiliner to add a + sign on the heart.  This simple addition allows me to use this image for alot more birthdays than just the milestone age of 40.  Besides, a good friend remembers your birthday . . . but not your age!  LOL!!!

 

Layers of Bazzill cardstock with Basic Grey Romani Archangel patterned paper forms my side-open card.  A strip of Doodle Bug Designs Baby Girl Baby's Breath small flower paper adds a bit of green to my paper border.  A Satin Sensations 5/8" Light Pink satin ribbon forms a border and bow.  A Me & My Big Ideas icons mini flowers multi rhinestone flower lies on top of my sentiment while several Bazzill Basics pink jewels add some bling to two corners of my image.  A Prima Gillian Raspberry flower with Prima Fairytale Roses Baby Pink and off white paper roses are clustered in a lower corner.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing Ladybug Crafts Ink Through The Ages 40 that includes a special sentiment from a Close To My Heart Card Chatter - Birthday set.  I printed the computer-generated "something" using Braggadocio font in size 16 with my image.

The inside is decorated similar to the front and includes a stamped sentiment from the same Close To My Heart Card Chatter - Birthday set.
