Challenge 31 And in English!!

Well, Blogger seems to be letting me have my title in English this week, so guess I am off to a good start!!

I have not been about for  a bit, had a short stay in our local Hospital and I am still getting back on my feet, so I thought I would attempt this weeks challenge over at Joan's Gardens, so below as usual are the guidelines. The challenge is HERE at Joan's, and HERE is a lovely sample card by Selma, Joan's design team and to all of us following her blog, she is so very talented and offers such great inspiration. All products I used can be obtained at Joan's as well. Thanks. for stopping by. I won't list my products used, as I have so few followers, if you have any questions, just let me know.
Big hugs

Birthday for Kailey

Well, I luckily also got the time to finish my granddaughters birthday card, she loves Horses, so I thought this stamp would be appropriate. It is a Magnolia Stamp, and I thought the colors looked great!

I used copics to color the image,  and went over the mane with my spica markers by copic to make it sparkle , and it does sparkle so prettily, even though you can not see it in the picture.
I also used liquid pearls on the Birthday Girl sign. The rest was a breeze.
I Used Roses made with dies from My Favorite Things, and put some glossy accents on them to simulate dew drops, and also put the glossy accents on the horses hooves to add some depth.
I hope she enjoys her card!!!  (UPDATE) She loved her card!!)

Thanks for stopping by.
