'Happy Birthday with Betty'

'Happy Birthday with Betty'

Good morning it's Wednesday yet again.  We have another wonderful Autumn morning here in New Zealand, I really don't think Mr Weatherman knows what he's doing as it doesn't feel like Autumn.  My youngest son starts Soccer on Saturday for his winter sports and my eldest son is still finishing off his summer sport which is Cricket and has a game on Saturday.

"Congratulations to all our winners this week there were so many amazing cards."

This week we've had another wonderful sketch to work with by Arlana Patten and our Sponsor is 

STAMPFAIRY SHOP

Good morning everyone here it is another wonderful wet Wednesday here again oh roll on Summer. Well if it's Wednesday that means it's another Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Oh what a week I didn't have a computer for 3 days that was like have my left arm chopped off as I'm very left handed!!! After cursing this computer and spending hours trying to sort it out, and was told by the computer experts ha ha that I needed a new Modem/ Router which I went out and bought!!! and didn't work as the ADSL light didn't come on!!! A little man with his tool kit arrived yesterday went out side looked at the telephone wiring said that one of my wires was corroded and was fixed in 5 minutes NO JOKING!!!

On to some good news I went to Junior and Youth prize giving on Saturday for both of my sons, and they both got one of the top awards in their respective teams for Sportsmanship I was so proud of both of them and very unexpected.

Isn't that a wonderful prize ???

You've got to be in to win so what are waiting for???

For my card this week, I chose an image that didn't have a lot of detail or colouring in, not that I was being lazy I wanted to see what I could do with this image as I had to make it work. I even had a couple of nights laying in bed thinking what I would do. Firstly it was a tropical island and drinks. No that didn't work. So I decided to Bling the card up looking at having Cocktails in a Nightclub!!! Well that what I thoughts anyway.

Card Recipe:

Base: White SU card.

Papers: Plain Aqua paper and Pattern Aqua Paper form Magnolia Papers and the silver paper from Rosie's Studio and Aqua Bazzill Bling.

Image: Summer Quencher from Digistamp Boutique

Colour Medium: Coloured with copic markers, the glass was coated all over with Glass Finish, when that dried I coated areas with Kindy Glitz so that it looks like a sparkly glass. The straw was coated with a coat of white glass coat.

Tools: Martha Stewart Lacy Doily punch.

Embellishments: Peacock ribbon, flowers, gems from my stash and the Silver Corners are from Peel Craft.

I put the Cherries to the side of the glass as I thought it looked a little bare and white space there. I want some Cherries could I find any, no way not on your life. In the end I found a WHITE that's right white Cherry button why would they make a white one and I had to colour it with my copics cut the back off and mounted it with a foam pop dot.
