Christmas...or Birthday....

Sometimes an image can be used for more than one purpose, and my card today is an example.


This is one of the new images from Just Inklined, and I do believe it was meant to be for Christmas.   I chose to use it for a birthday card instead, and went with a vintage/shabby chic style.  I've used my copics and coloured pencils, adding some glossy accents to their bright red bows.  I made good use of my newest die purchase for the framing, with a bit of added glitter pen and a few pearls.

Supplies used:
Just Inklined image - Goose and Ganda
Verve sentiment stamp - Birthday Surprise set
Papers from Basic Grey - Clippings collection
Martha Stewart Punch - Eyelet Lace
