Autumn Birthday Card

 Here's an autumn birthday card I made using a Gina Marie Designs die with a leaf in the center. I used 2 different colored cardstocks along with 2 different designer papers to put this card together. I added a stitched tag with a little bit of twine and added 3 small gemstones to finish this one.

I'll share this with the AAA Birthday Game #56- add a tag

Also sharing with Seize the Birthday #274 - Fall Items

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

Floating Cow Birthday Card

 I found this stamped cow image in a box that I must have had for a decade or more. I'm pretty sure it's a Penny Black image but I was unable to verify that because it's probably been long retired. Either way it's a cute one and it's long overdue for being used! I made the background with some Sunny Studio papers and stenciled the clouds in with some Tumbled Glass ink. I colored the image with Copics and a black marker, adding color to the balloons with glaze pens. I was stumped for adding a sentiment, so I leaned on a good friend for suggestions and she gave me this one which was perfect! It was computer generated and snipped apart to fit on the image.

I'll share this with the following challenges:

 the Triple AAA Birthday Challenge #49 - Balloons

The Retro Rubber challenge #206 - Tic Tac Toe

(I went across the top line with birthday, stencil and pattern paper)

The Happy Little Stampers May Birthday Challenge - A/G

The Critter Crazy Challenge #74 - A/G featuring a critter

(Calling a cow a critter may be a stretch, but I'll enter anyway 😉)

the May Stencil Fun Challenge - A/G using a stencil  *optional flowers

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your Wednesday is a great one!
