birthday wishes



When I was playing with Wonderfully Whimsical and Background Basics: Botanicals last month for the release, I created this fun birthday card.  I love the little balloon coming out of the chimney!  I created the scene for my card and then colored the images with copic markers.  Then, I stamped my kraft cardstock using the background image from BB: Botanicals and dark chocolate ink.  I added the little flowers in the centers using hawaiian shores ink and the little flower stamp from BB: Botanicals.  I finished the card off with some scallops cut from dark chocolate cardstock, some hawaiian shores stitched ribbon, and a coconut button.

My husband will be home in a little while for the weekend.  The kids are excited to decorate the Easter eggs tomorrow and to see what the Easter Bunny brings on Sunday.

Have a great Easter weekend!!
Niki
