Happy Birthday Nancy! .......

Happy Friday to you .......

The weekend is here again!
It's also a very special day today ...... the lovely Nancy (scandinancy creates) is having a birthday, and to celebrate the occasion Loll is hosting a surprise Linky Party ..... SURPRISE!!! 

Happy Birthday Nancy ..... I hope you have a very special day, and to help you celebrate here's a little card from me, full of love and best wishes just for you!


This gorgeous stamp from the Colorado Craft Company is having it's first outing to mark this occasion.

Stamped and then heat embossed in gold .....


and coloured using Polychromos coloured pencils.


The tiniest touch of shading onto the bottle, and of course the sentiment .....


I finished with a little touch of sparkle for a very special lady ........


The linky will be open for 2 weeks so, if you know the lovely Nancy, and I know a lot of you do, then why not join in the fun and wish her a very Happy Birthday!

Here's to you Nancy!

As it's the first time I've used this gorgeous stamp, I'm also linking this card up to the NBUS Challenge #18




Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day, and have a great weekend.  
We're all off home this evening, our family staycation has sadly come to an end.  
Roll on the next one!

Cheerio until next time .......

What a wonderful stamp Linda! So pretty embossed in gold and a lovely way to sneak in the age of the recipient - so elegantly done! Great job coloring your petals with your pencils too!

We just returned from our 19 day trailer camping/hiking trip, Linda and picked up our held mail...OMG a Gorgeous Birthday card in the mail from you with beautiful shine from the gold heat embossed stamped image. Love your beautiful pencil coloring of the gorgeous peonies flowers. I noticed the 75 right away even though the numbers were tiny. Such a unique floral birthday image. I love arranging flowers from the garden in non-vase containers:-) Your Fine Chrystal Glitter is such a pretty bit of gold glittery shine too. Just the card was gift enough, but inside the card was another fun birthday surprise....a sweet little "Heartfelt" background stamp, which I love! Thank you again for the lovely birthday wishes. Hope you get to get out and camp again before the weather gets too cold. Love and Hugs...Nancy
