This is the 3rd card sample for Sheila's Challenge.




Another image by Kenny K, this is called 'Uptown Angel', again I coloured her in using Promarkers.
The black and silver holographic card is from Create and Craft.  I added strips of lilac gems and a gem butterfly, mulberry flowers and a tag style 'Looking Good on your Birthday' stamp by stampingallday.co.uk

This image is from Kenny K Downloads, it's called 'Download Diva' and is part of the Glam Gang range.  The backing papers are, again, from the Summer Days combo stack.  The tickets are from the 'Happy Days' Ticket Stubs stamp by Do Crafts in their Urban Stamp range.  I added a mobile phone charm onto several silver eyelets joined together and, again, an assortment of paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.com.  The card and roses are actually navy blue, however they show up more black on the photograph.

This is suitable for a birthday or just to cheer someone up so I am entering it in a 'Special Occasions' challenge.  http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/p/all-occasions-challenge.html?spref=fb
