HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!!!


I made this card to celebrate their 2nd birthday. I participated in the last year and it was alot of fun. I decided to use Wendy stamp and I paper peiced the dress and hair ribbon. I have also added faux stitching. The Papers are from Stampin' Up! Vintage Vogue. I used copics to colour her in and if you look closely I have added things to the book to celebrate The Greeting Farm's birthday.

Can you see Marie???


Just so you don't think I'm a stalker or anything, this was the photo given on the blog after several TGF fans wanted to know what Marie looked like. Like most people I was surprised at how young she was. I can't believe I've been buying and playing with TGF stamps now for under two years, WOW.
Congrats on your success and I hope to be buying more TGF stamps in the future.


Please head back to the main blog list to find out who is next.
I will be part of the Blog Hop and at the end will give my TOP Five blogs/cards, maybe it will be yours.
Enjoy yourselves, thank you for looking
Amanda

    hahahaha!!! Marie's image was one of the first to catch my eye! The first being of course how goregous the rest of your card is. Great choice of the stamp used as well as the colors. Very imaginative! MFS!!
