Happy Birthday!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back if this is your first visit and welcome to those of you the are a regular visitor.  Today I have a Happy Birthday card for you.  If you are like me, you can not have enough birthday cards.  I go through them so fast.

Here is today’s card:

I knew that I wanted a pink card base.  My next step was to figure out a patterned paper but I couldn’t find one that suited me for this card.  I other options was to create my own and that was what I did.  I stamped all of the little elements from the stamp set in three different colors randomly on the white layer that I was using.  I then die cut the white layer and die cut a circle toward the bottom right side.  I also die cut the Happy Birthday sentiment two times from white card stock and once from pattern paper scrap I had with a pink stripe.  I glue the sentiment stacking as I went with the patterned one on top of course.  I stamped my elephant and colored him with copic marker and die cut him out.  I adhered the elephant coming out of the hole and taped him on the back to hold him there.  I adhered the Happy Birthday on any angle to the white layer.  I adhered the white layer to the pink card base with foam tape.  The card is finished.
