One
of my hubby's nieces turn 18 this year. In Norway 18 is a great turning
point, it's at this age you're allowed to vote and get your driver's
license, amongst other things. So my version of the theme is "goodbye childhood, hello adulthood".This image is called "Pretty Little Girl half face" and I colored it using Promarkers. I chose grey and pink DPs and the sentiment, made with a stamp from a Dylusion set, is heat embossed with pink embossing powder on grey paper. The flower die cut is made with a Memory Box die. The clock die is from Marianne, and I've used Tim Holtz dies for the numbers. I machine stitched with white thread along the edges, added some cheesecloth for texture and added a pink flower and pearls.
My new things used on this card are: image, DPs and flower.
This card is also for these challenges:1) Crafting By Designs - Birthdays
2) Fab 'n' Funky - #198 Let's Celebrate
3) Shopping Our Stash - #125 Use Something New
4) Come and Get It Challenges - Something New
5) A Gem of a Challenge - #110 Something New
6) Make it Monday - Anything Goes
