Happy Birthday CMLI

This week's Craft Mad and Loving It challenge is a corker. Plain and simple, a birthday card, as the group is one year old. Hurrah!

Finding this group has been a great inspiration to me. Quite frankly we're all a bit unhinged, but that's what makes the chatter so much fun. And on the craft side of things these ladies (and Andy) really do know a thing or two. It has really pushed my creativity and I am so grateful for that.

This evening I made what I hope Lauren, Karen and Rosie feel is suitably celebratory:

Image is LOTV from a swap coloured with Promarkers. Embossed panel also from a swap and cut with Nellie Snellen die. Hero Arts accent stamps versamarked and chalked over. Ribbon, BP, butterfly gem and bazzil from stash.

Hard to see are the stickles on her wings and skirt and the white gel faux stitching on the purple base BP.

Here's to the next year CMLI-ers, xxxx
