Happy Birthday to my Big Sister!

Hello Friends

It is my Big Sister's Birthday today - not a big birthday for her, nor is my sister particularly large, but being born 7 years before me, she will always be my "Big" Sister!

As you can see I have used my new Paperartsy stamp which I was lucky enough to win over at the Playground.  I absolutely love it!!  On the main part of the card I have used a plethora of Tim Holtz stamps, one an all time favourite and the others from a set I recently got my mitts on.

As is normal for me, I have used Tim Holtz Distress Inks including Gathered Twigs, Aged Mahogany, Crushed Olive and Red Barn.  I spritzed over it with gold glimmer mist, though it is not picked up in the photos.
I made a teeny tiny ticket from a Tim Holtz stamp and adhered it to a SU tag which was stamped.  A Snippet of lace and the piece of TH Cordinations was also from my Snippets boxes.  The cream cardstock is Vanilla by SU.

Thanks for calling by.

    your sister is going to love this card...I love the way you took an ordinary Stampin Up label stamp and turned it into something with a little more edge!

    So, what I need to know is:
    how can you use a load of different images and make a background look utterly fantastic... and yet if I try it just looks pants? *lol*
    I love the card - hope your sister had a day as amazing and wonderful as the card you made her!
    Just popping over from Pixies Crafty Snippets :)
