HAVE A SWEET BIRTHDAY
... with Kiki

Another one of my favourite digi girls i.e. Kiki and you can get your crafty hands on her at All That Scraps.  Kiki is a dream to colour and I have used my new set of 72 colours of Derwent H2O's.  Yes, you have read it correctly, 72 colours just opens up a whole new world of colours compared to only 24 colours (which was my old set).  I passed my old set on to my dear friend Belinda, who I know will have so much creative fun with them.

Once again the flowers were made with 2" Scalloped square punch-outs.  Here's the tutorial for the handmade flowers. The papers are from the latest Upikit glitter range.  The Durban ladies who are attending {Doing Life's} 16 June 2012 Bothas Hill Scrap Day will have the joy of scrapping with these exact same papers on one of their double page layouts. The card itself is a tent design (so I have heard from one of my lovely Followers - thanks for enlightening me).




... and here's the free digi for the sentiment - enjoy.


I would like to enter this creation into the following challenges:




Wishing you all a wonderful and joyful Easter long weekend and travel safe, especially if you are travelling on South African roads - which has become very dangerous.
