Happy Birthday


I have a triple challenge card to share today!! Dawn's color challenge is so beautiful, though I had no idea what I was going to do!! Initially I was thinking flowers but didn't have a specific image in mind. Yesterday's High Hopes challenge was to use creative boarders in any way we can think of. I was browsing the SCS site last night and found the CAS (clean and simple) challenge and it is a sketch which I really like so the wheels kicked into high gear and started thinking!! LOL!! This morning I was going through my High Hopes stamps, specifically looking for smaller stamps and I found this cute Franklin Froggy, perfect for all 3 challenges!!! I colored the image with my Copic markers, Franklin was colored with YG11 (Mignonette), his hat was colored with BG09 (Blue Green) and E29 (Burnt Umber). I was so pleased with how well the Blue Green matched the Taken With Teal cardstock and the Burnt Umber matched with Papertrey's Dark Chocolate!!!! I cut the image out using my Labels 3 Nestabilites, the Dark Chocolate layer using a size up. I distressed the edges on both layers and also both of the horizontal layers. I wrapped Dark Chocolate Twill around the horizontal layer and tied in a knot. I stamped Happy Birthday from my SU! Warmest Regards set. Very simple and quick!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
