Birthdaycard in bluetones

Between confirmationcards I find a little time for other projects. This birthdaycard is one.

I've used DPs in different bluetones, most of the decorative elements on the card are in bluetones, as well.

The stamp is from Tickled Pink Stamps, and has become one of my favourites.
Of course it's coloured in Flex- and ProMarkers.
I've used DistressInk WalnutStain on all paperedges.

Here's also cheesecloth, lace, flowers, liquid pearls, ribbons, swirls and rhinestones.

Underneath one of the panels I've put a tag. The tag can be pulled out by the ribbon.

The flowers are sprayed with Glimmermist Turquoise Blue. 

The leaf is painted with a thin white paint, to let the green colour barely show through.

The greeting on the front is from Kreativ Hobby.

Inside the card I used the same papers as on the outside. 

The greeting is a stamp from Norsk Stempelblad AS.

On the right side one of the papers make a pocket where I can put some money:

Girly Confirmationcard

Last sunday Sketchy Colors came with an absolutely wonderful sketch. I loved it immidiately! 

But what would I make out of it???

I knew it had to be a confirmationcard - I just had to find which stamp and what else to use. 

I spent some time trying out different ideas before I landed on this image from Tickled Pink Stamps and the papers from Kort&Godt ("Liljekonvall" must be one of the prettiest papers I've had - it hurt to cut in it!) and Inkido.

I made the "basecard" with a pocket, where I could put another card into. The "other card" has the image attached with a brad so it can slide open, and show a greeting both underneath the image and on the pocket.

I've stamped a greeting on the basecard too, that shows when the tagcard is pulled out (see next picture).
After cutting and punching the cardstock (Bazzill Kraft) and papers I brushed over them with DistressInk WalnutStain. I used several punches from Martha Stewart, corner- and edgepunches and my beloved butterflypunches. I also used one of the dies from Spellbinders Fancy Tags- set.
The image is coloured with Pro- and Flexmarkers.

Here's a picture of the tagcard pulled out of the basecard:

...and the backsides. The tagcard has a greeting here as well.

Heres a close-up of the image, and most of the decoration:
