THE PAPER SHELTER BLOG HOP 2022: BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS



 Good Morning lovely crafters!

Welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 12th Birthday on the 8th of December!  This will be a two week challenge, with both teams taking part, and it's our way of thanking The Paper Shelter for sharing their wonderful images with us, and sponsoring our challenge.


The theme for this special challenge is:

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

This is your first stop on the Hop.  Both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter, and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.


When I first saw this image, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with her.  She's actually a Halloween image, called Halloween Casual, but I have removed anything Halloween related, so that I could use her for a birthday card.

I have coloured the image with Copics and used a My Favourite Things stencil and Distress Ink for the background.

My papers are from the Stamperia Hortensia paper pack.  The sentiment is cut from a Fine It Trading die.  
I've added a strip of lace and I Am Roses flowers, plus a few Fancy Pants Designs puffy dots.



From here, you will need to hop on over to Christine's blog.  Don't forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store!

Good Luck!  Hope you've enjoyed the Hop so far!

Linda
