Happy Birthday

I've been feeling a little stressed this week but did take the time to make a birthday card........that bit of creativity did help to relieve some of that stress........but next time I think I'll add some wine to the mix too!

This card and gift tag was created for the Cuttlebug Challenge Birthday Party Palooza.



I love this new paper by Cosmo Cricket and also used an EK border punch as well as the swiss dots embossing folder.
I've also recently been trying my skills at using Copic markers and found a copic marker challenge blog, so I used their suggested colours to colour the Magnolia image used on this card.



Then I broke into my new Stampin' Up stamp and punches to create a matching tag. I'll explain why there are loonies in the pouch in another post early next week!

And Dee suggested I link my card up to Pile It On, they also have a birthday theme this week. So, I have, thanks for the suggestion Dee!
