A Little Birdie Told Me

Yes, a little birdie (aka Shirley) told me that a very special gal - MARIA -is celebrating a very special birthday today! A milestone in fact! The BIG 50! So the lovely Shirley has organised a surprise birthday card linky party for her. Check out all the other cards here.

I've have long admired Maria's  style, which is sort of arty and always unique! Another thing I love about Maria is her friendly, fun personality, which is apparent through her blogging at  Riesling Mama and in the lovely encouraging comments she gives to others!
Happy Birthday Maria!!!! I hope you enjoy your special day with your family and friends and that you get spoilt rotten!

I decided to make 2 cards for the occasion ....


I used Twinkling H2Os and the cute Sketchy Bird Stamp from Dina Wakely in this card. 

I used distress ink to create the watercolour butterflies and Windsor & Newton watercolour paint for the background.
The doilie stamp is from Penny Black  I used Memory Box dies to make the leaves and butterflies.

  11. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Maria loves 'em. Gotta admit, especially the first one. What amazing watercoloring. Your colors and their placement are perfect, Jenny. And that birdie. And your ransom-y sentiment. And that cool cardstock (I'm assuming that is what gives it the bubbly textured look?). Thanks for joining my party. One day we'll have to have a real one! For now, Prosit!
