I created this 6x6 birthday card for a very good friend to cheer her up today. Her name is Mel and although I've never met her in person, I consider her one of my besties. I used some background paper from the Dollhouse for the first time, and it definitely won't be the last. It's from the Marta Vaneck's Cabinet of Curiosities collection called Scene papers 02.
This darkly delicious paper deserves a darkly devious image, so I turned to Ike's Art for this digi image called Magician's Hat. Don't you love how those gloved hands just float in the air?
After typing in my sentiment, I printed my photo-shopped scene and popped it onto several layers of Prima patterned paper. I distressed and sanded the edges of my white core cardstock, then added the flowers and pearl flourishes.
I always have such fun going to Ike's Art and making up a wish list of images I need, I mean, want, to play with. For today's prize, leave a comment telling me which one is at the top of your wish list!!
And for those who are just joining the fun, go back to the first post and be sure to comment as asked for freebies and your chance in the prize draw!!

Those scene papers are very cool Pat! My goodness I cannot tell how you did such beautiful shading! Rock on girlfriend!!! Oh btw, someday I'm going to work with that colored Geranium pot.......someday!
Great card, Pat! Thanks for linking-up with us at Naughty Or Nice this month, Jo x
Love how you made the Magician's Hat digital image into a Birthday card.
I especially like the Easter Bunny Basket from IKE's Art.

I love your card! The paper is fantastic. I especially like New Baby from IKE's Art. (I think it is so different.)
I first found Ike when she was doing the travel images. Today, though, I think my favorite is Smashing Idea. I can see a number of uses for it on both cards and especially scrapbook pages. I love your magician card, especially the way you made it appear three dimensional!
Gorgeous card. Thanks for joining in our "Add A Sentiment" challenge at Crafty Calendar this month.

A very cute and truthful card!! I love all of the embellishments you added. It really adds to your creation.
Thanks so much for playing along at ~Jo's Scrap Shack~
Happy crafting,

What a great birthday card! Love the design, and definitely the sentiment. Thanks for joining us at Naughty or Nice Challenges!
Wow1 Your card looks 3D. Great effect you made. I would love Ike's Fall Cat image. I absolutely love her animals. Edwina Brown
Very cool combination of digital and handmade. Practice makes perfect my friend.
Oh man, how on earth am I supposed to narrow down and just have one of Ike's images on the top of my wish-list. Seriously? I have several of her images including my absolute favourite, Spring Fairy but from the images that I don't have, I'd have to say Mermaid 3 would be at the top of my list. Such a gorgeous image.
Hugs,
Lisa
Fabulous 3d effect and love the novelty of this.
