Happy 50th Big Sister!

Hi Everyone,

Today is the big day!  Coleen and I will be running 21.1 km to the finish line to complete her first half marathon, the day before she turns 50!  I will post how we did tomorrow but today I made this card to commemorate her accomplishment as well as her 50th birthday!  I have entered this card in the Catch the Bug Challenge - Anything Goes, One Crazy Stamper Challenge - Birthday.


This cutie is a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp.  She was stamped with memento ink on Xpress it Blending paper and coloured with copics.  I used SB dies to mat the image and a CB embossing folder to the orange piece that has words of praise on it!  I embossed the sentiment and added two glitter pearls.  I sponged the prima flowers to match the colour.  Lastly I added stickles to the piping on her pants and liquid glass to the water bottle.  Just in case she forgot how old she will be, I put a big 50 to help her remember!

This is how we'll look for the first 5km, I'm sure the finish would be a lot different!  Stop by tomorrow to see the live pictures of the finish!  Take care!
