It seems ages since I blogged for Dream Valley, but I am delighted to be back! Our challenge this time is All About Birthdays, which should give you lots of scope. We are sponsored by Dies to Die For with a fabulous £15 voucher to their store.
My card was a birthday card for an old friend who has a penchant for cats, so I thought this might amuse her. The images are all from Katzelkraft, from the Les Chats Russes and Les Drole Accesories sets, apart from the balloons which are from Tim Holtz’s Crazy Things stamps. I coloured them all with distress inks. My background was created by inking through two stencils, firstly the patchwork triangular shapes stencil with pink and blue inks and then through the Ginkgo, Designs By Ryn stencil with a green DI. I added some glitter fabric covered wire to the balloons and gave them all some dimension with 3d glue gel.
