Sunny Birthday

I made a birthday card for my brother's better half.  I don't know how she puts up with him, but she deserves a cute birthday card.  I thought I might as well enter a couple of challenges, besides they give me inspiration for my work.  The first challenge I came across was the Chocolate, Coffee and Card Challenges blog for the color combination.  Then the MFT Wednesday sketch for the layout, but when I put my card together, I didn't have my iPad in front of me (some little ones were playing on it) and didn't quite put it together like the sketch.  Oh WELL!  I still like the way it turned out.

Here's what I came up with this combination of fun:

I used MFT ALM Time to Celebrate stamp set and MFT PI Birthday Girl for the Happy Birthday sentiment on the front of the card.  All the ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel in their Ribbon of the Month Kits.  I colored in the image with watercolor pencils and regular pencils.  Put on a pearl embellishment, DONE!  Of course the inside needs to look as good as the outside.  

Thanks for looking and reading :o)
