Good morning all.
First time using this die from Spellbinders and I love it.
It is S5-159 Gold lables 4 and cutand embosses beautifully in the big shot.
Oh I may have forgotten to mention that my amazing hubster bought me the Teal big shot starter kit from Ebay along with a tonne ( ok maybe not quite a tonne) of ribbon.
Coloured this amazing image by Kate Powell who has very kindly given her permission for me to use it for my sisters card.
I am hoping Kate will evtually provide them as Rubber or Digi stamps as her work is just amazing.
I have coloured her using Spectrum noir pencils from Crafters Companion.

Banner Birthday

Morning all.
I hope your day is as beautiful as mine.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the neghbours are drilling.
Ok so I hope you don't have the drilling.
Thumping headache for the last week doesn't help.
Still, onwards and upwards, at least i'm still breathing lol
Todays card has been created for the Allsorts challenge add a banner or flag.
Wouldn't you believe it, just when I need them I can't find my little banner die.
Absolutely typical but that wasn't going to stop me.
So instead of my pretty banner die I have cut triangles for the banner.
I had a pretty banner paper for the background and was able to cut the triangles from the excess to match.
It wasn't until I had finished the card that I noticed a huge error.
The paper is upside down lol
Oh well, I think it just adds character and at least I know it's different.
Would be boring if I was normal *grin*
The stamp is by Helz Cuppleditch and coloured with my new Spectrum Noir pencils.
Colours used are 007,028, 036, 041, 050, 061, 064, 065, 074, 087, 089 and 100 
They are so beautiful to colour with and easy to blend.
I don't have the blending solution or paper stumps so I just used my fingers.
White organza ribbon coloured with cool aqua promarker and a matching handmade bow.
Die used for the party time sentiment is Marianne Design LR 0141 finished off withe some bling and flatback pearls.
