Happy Birthday to You



It seems like I can never have enough birthday cards.  With a pretty large family, someone's birthday is always coming up soon.  The Mouse-Bird-Ladybug-Cupcake image from Tina Wenke is perfect for adorable birthday cards.  I let my image really take center stage on my A5 card and only added a little patterned paper, stitching, and a sentiment.


I colored the image with copic markers that coordinate with the patterned papers I chose.  Then, I added some stitching around the edges and a birthday sentiment.  After assembling my card, I added some Glossy Accents to the sprinkles on the cupcake and the balloons.

Have a great day!

Niki

What a fabulous birthday card, Niki! That image is so adorable, and your coloring job is just amazing. I can't color at all, so my jaw hangs open at work like this. Love the touches of shine from the glossy accents and absolutely adore all the stitching.
