Happy Sunday with a Birthday Card!!

Hey Friends!!!

I am just popping in with a card that I created for some challenges. I received a package with some new stamps and I HAD to use this one!!!


This is the House Mouse Party Streamers from Spellbinders. I colored it in with Copic Markers and then cut it apart so that I could use it with this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #719. The colors were inspired by this weeks Inspired By...#371 badge and the birthday is for this round of Seize the Birthday Challenge. I used the anything goes theme for that one. 

I dug out some purple cardstock and embossed it with the Honey Bee Burlap embossing folder-one of my go to folders. I trimmed it into a 4" by 5 1/4" piece and then used a Distress Tool along the edges. (**Please excuse the white dog hair in my photo. I just noticed it and I don't feel like going and taking it out!! My dogs are rarely in my craft room but their hair gets everywhere.)

I then stamped it with a retired MFT Stamp-Brush Splatter Background Stamp-in purple.

The sentiment strips are from an old MFT Birthday sentiment stamp set. I know they are NOT the same width but I did that on purpose. 

I completed my card by adding some blue gems that went with the background and some Stickles on the hat decorations. This was SO FUN to make!! I have not stamped and colored in a while and it was good therapy. I have needed some therapy the last couple weeks!!!

I am trying something new with adding all of the images together. I need to do some frames or something but I wanted to get this posted. Last week I made cards for challenges and forgot to enter the cards into them in time!!!

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
