HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!

Today is the wonderfully talented Nancy McKinney's birthday and in celebration of that we have a birthday blog hop for her!  If you came from Carolina's blog you are on the right path, if not please hop over to the start at Karen's blog.




For my card I used Karen G's Sweet Sunday Sketch from this week (SSSC93) as my inspiration.  Izzie has a Prezzie from Stamping Bella is stamped on bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  For the shading I did use some prismacolour pencils.  I paper pieced her jacket and hairband with the ds paper cosmo crickets circa 1934.  I stitched around the layered pieces and added some prima flowers and a button.


Thanks for stopping by, the next stop on the birthday hop is the very talented Charmaine Ikach!!  I've posted the list in case you missed anyone!


Have a great day - 


Dana 


copics: BG10, BG12, Y21, Y23, E43, E44, E47, R24, R27, E0000, E000, E00, E21, R02
