HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLISON!


My niece, Allison, is celebrating her birthday today.  I decided to try making a really "happy" card.  First of all I cut some clouds with a PTI die and attached them to the top layer using temporary tape.  With the clouds in place, I sponged blue ink over the top 2/3 and gren over the bottom 1/3. 
 
The cloud die cut pieces were removed and a tiny Happy Birthday stamped inside one of them.  Flowers and buttons were then added.  To send the card I added some foam material from a package so that the buttons wouldn't punch through the envelope.  I also had the postmaster hand cancel the postage.
 
Thank you for stopping by!
