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
The Penny Black Saturday Challenge for March - A/G *optional Easter

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