birthday wishes - stampingbella

good morning to one and all

i'm back to share another birthday card and today i've used:

faith the fairy from stampingbella. this was one of the first bella images i purchased some years ago, and i have to say she is sweet, sassy and adorable..

my image has been painted with distress ink and after a small miss-app, a little victorian velvet dripped onto my paper i managed to hide it by colouring around the image in the same colour... 

to complete my card i have used a boarder stamp, a dohicky die, a sentiment stamp and a sentiment die, i have also distressed the edges of my image panel and inked the edges to give it an aged feel.

 here is my list of the items used:
