18th birthday cards

I was asked to make a couple of cards for an 18th birthday...

This image is by Stitchy Bear, well actually it's an image of one shoe, I added another shoe (with permission) as I prefer the look of the pair, although I did print the single shoe with pearls again so That I could layer it with foam pads. I printed an additional string of pearls too, after colouring them, I cut them out and gave them a coating of Anita's 3D clear gloss.
The paper is by Melissa Frances (Classic Elegance - Strictly Business)
I diecut the '18' with Die-namics By The Number dies.

And here's the other card...

This fun image is Funny Face by Redonkadoodles.
Both the floral & soft striped papers were free in a craft mag, it's from a pad called Bonnets & Bowties and is by Lili of the Valley & Nitwit Collections.
I've added this pretty border either side, using a cArt-Us die (fountain), then added some flat back crystals and punched flowers to decorate.
'Niece' was cut using Die-namics By The Letter dies.

Funny Face

It's safe to show this now :)
As soon as I saw this fun image I knew I had to have it, and exactly who I was going to make a card for with it (Happy Birthday Fluff xx)

This totally brill image is by Redonkulous Designs, and is called 'Funny Face', isn't she just fabulous?!
I coloured her with promarkers and carefully cut her out, framing her using my newest dies by cArt-Us.
The cupcakes are from SU's crazy for cupcakes stamp set. And we all know how much Fluff loves her cupcakes don't we?
The starry paper is by Paper Cellar and is from a pad called 'celebrations' which I bought when I first started card making, it's a little bit of a crazy design, which suits the image and the die cut (sizzix) sentiment, the other sentiment is computer generated. I used another cArt-Us die beneath it, adding a few gems to finish.

I'd like to enter this card at:
