I made this card for my purple-loving, cat-loving sister Fiona. Appropriately enough, the stamp I used for this card is one of the "Twisted Sisters" from Sweet November Stamps....now all I need to work out is which one of us is the Twisted sister or is it both? haha 
These lovely ladies are available in rubber, but mine are digistamps and are available at All That Scraps and Tickled Pink Stamps (I can't remember where I got them!) The Twisted Sister on the left is "Oleander" and the one on the right is "Jessamine". Oleander has brown eyes, as do I, because she is the most conservative of the pair, as am I. Jessamine on the other hand has green eyes as does Fiona and she is the more "out there" of the pair - as is my lovely sister Fi! I used a combination of Copic and Bic markers and pigment inks to colour the ladies, the cat is a button and came that colour!
I used this sketch from Card Patterns for their challenge this time. My image is a bit "out of scale" but all the elements are there: I used tiny buttons as the embellishments at the top left of the card, the colour doesn't show that well but they are alternate green and purple. Kaisercraft's "Lilac Avenue" 6" collection is where the paper hails from: I'm loving my Kaisercraft 6" collections, aren't I? The sentiment is a sticker, which I over-coloured and outlined with Copic (V17) I popped the two ladies up on foam dots, then did the same with the panel they are mounted on so the whole thing is pretty 3D - just the way I like it!
I did a simple bit of decorating on the inside of the card, using offcuts from the front and an EK Success "Hearts and Scrolls" border punch. The purple Happy and Birthday are glossy stickers.Allsorts Challenge has anything goes as it's theme this time, and Sweet stampin' has "Celebrations" so I think I'll enter this card there too.
So here's wishing my lovely sister Fi, a very happy birthday and many more to come.
It was nice to have a little break from Christmas cards! Until next time, Happy Crafting, Dee
