100th birthday card for Winnie

Hi all 

A crafty friend of mine tagged me into a post BBC Radio Sheffield was making a request for a dear old lady who is coming up 100 years old on May 31st she does not have any family and wanted her birthday extra special. 
So I got my Pollyanna Pickering's world wildlife dvd rom which is available from www.creativecraftingworld.co.uk 

I wanted to make an easel card and also a normal card which had an insert inside, and I decided to make this. 
I used A3 pearlised card cut down to make a 6x6 card
Kraft card for matting
Decoupage, backing paper, insert sentiment and ribbon strip is from the dvd rom
I coloured in clear gems with my brown spectrum noir pen
100 today numbers and word are from tattered lace
The doily is from crafter's companion die'sire range. 
I am hoping she has a good birthday.

Colouring in time

Good morning yesterday I decided that I would print a digi stamp out and sit and colour it in.
The one I chosen was by aurora wings. 
I actually forgot how relaxing colouring in was.
I used my spectrum noir pens and they are as follows

Face: fs1, tn2, tn3
Roses cr10, cr11, dr6, or1,or2
Leaves lg1, lg3
Eye bt2, bt3

I used pearlised card base 6x6
I used black card stock for matting and layering,
Backing paper is an old stock I had in my cupboard
And I used black & green gems.

I think it's time I did more colouring, thank you for looking xx
