Today I have a birthday card to share using some very old retired SU! IN color cardstock and Afternoon Tea dsp snippets that I've cherished for years. I die-cut the background panels with MFT stitched horizontal dies, and the oval panel with a MFT stitched die as well. The SSS gnome was die-cut with matching cardstock and matted with black to match the card base I cut the nose from white and colored that with a Copic marker. The balloons were done with a MS punch and stamped with TE birthday sentiments and attached to black twine bits. I used glaze markers to color in one sentiment.
I'll share this with the following challenges:
the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Happy Birthday
the Snippets Playground Challenge #400 - use snippets
That's it for me, but thanks for stopping by and do have yourself a fabulous Friday!
