Goth Girl ♥ Birthday card

Jeg ville lage et bursdagskort som både var jentete og goth samtidig ~ så jeg var heldig og fikk denne kjempestilige goth-jenta fra vår sponsor SLS lines som motiv til mitt DT kort for Creative Fingers #116. Vår andre flotte sponsor er Scrap N' Dipity. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)
 
Må bare beklage at jeg har vært lite å se rundt i bloggland i det siste, slitt med helsa, og akkurat nå har jeg også hatt behandling for psoriasis på hendene med UV-lys 3 ganger i uka, to timers biltur hver gang.. Så slitsomt, men oi for en forandring! Har ikke hatt så fine hender på 15 år! Så tommeln opp for det :)
Har du sett BlogCandyen min forresten? Bonus vinnersjangse for de som bor innom Norden! :)

I have to apologize first of all for my absence around blogland, and commenting which has been sporadic at best. My health has not been so good, and the last weeks has been especially taxing. Having psoriasis treatment with UV lights on my hands three times a week for barely 3 minutes each time - but having to travel two hours for it anyway is very tiring, when my back is already bothering me and other fibromyalgia pains. Just happy migraines been playing nice, knock on wood ;) But my cracked hands are almost completely healed, not looked this good in 15 years, so I'm very happy about that! (It used to be such a big bother to get ink in those cracks too, looked even worse *lol*)

I wanted to make a both cool girly and goth themed card, and this digistamp from SLSLines was just perfect ♥ It does not show up very good it the photos, but it's a very textured card, with acrylic paint dabbed through stencils, bling and silver ribbon, embossed details and heatembossed text. 
I'm totally in love with my new Marianne Designs die! That gorgeous frame, so detailed and cut a perfect result on my watercolor paper.

In this fortnights challenge #116. at Creative Fingers we are lucky to have two fab sponsors, SLS and Scrap N' Dipity, and as always it is an 'Anything goes' theme. You are more than welcome to join with your creations!
And btw: I also have a yummy BlogCandy up for grabs! Do check it out :)
