Birthday Kitty


 Today I have a card made for a special little girl who has a birthday coming up next month. I used some royal blue cardstock along with a Spellbinders scalloped square die and a Lil Inker die-cut sentiment. The Penny Black image was colored with Copics, and I added some glaze pen rainbow colors to the balloon. The little banner is brand new and from a set of Sizzix thinlet dies I recently won. I had to add a touch of pink to this card since it's for a girl. The ef is by Cuttlebug and I die-cut the sentiment 3 times, stacked it, and covered it with glossy accents.

I'm sharing with these challenges:

Can You Handle the Pressure- A/G must use an EF *optional rainbows

Critter Crazy Challenge #72 - A/G but must use a critter

NBUS Challenge #48 - Never Before Used Schtuff




Seize the Birthday Challenge #257 - A/G *optional -Card for a Child





Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!

I saw a sign yesterday with some good advice: "Don't take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time." 😄😊

Adorable birthday card, so cheerful, fun and fresh!! Surely that special little girl will smile receiving it! That PB cat is very cute and the rainbow balloon attached to his tail adds a fun touch to the image! The word Celebrate is just perfect to match the banners garland and the beautiful embossed background! Love the frame, too!

You always see fun signs, and that one you said is very sage for sure! :D LOL
