Birthday Blessings!

Teacup-Birthday

Hello everyone!  I hope you are enjoying getting back to "normal" after the Christmas and New Years holidays!  I am going on week 3 of the crud here, but I'm finally feeling better, even though you might not believe it to hear me cough! LOL!  Anyhoo.... I wanted to share another card I made with this month's release from Our Daily Bread designs.  I used Birthday Blessings to create this card, and the Sweet Sunday Sketch was just perfect for my image!  My base is Coredinations, the designer paper is Kaisercraft Lilac Ave. pad, and I added an ancient doily and seam binding.  The image is colored with Copics and accented with Spica Glitter Pens.  In real life they look pretty, but I have yet to be able to capture that on camera!  Anyway.... just a quick post today.  Hope you love this set as much as I do!  It will be a go to set for me for sure!!!

I am also entering this in the following challenges:
Creative Inspirations Paint - - Something New, Robyn`s FetishAnything Goes, Paper Sundaes C10 - Something Old, Something New, Pile It On - Anything Goes,  Sentimental Sundaysmust include a Sentiment - Anything Goes, Sparkles Forum -  Anything BUT a Christmas Card, Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge -  #51 Anything Goes Using Your New Stash, Partytime Tuesdays - #48 Anything Goes, Top Tip Tuesday - #67 Anything Goes, Crafty Boots -  Celebrations, Critter Sketch - Celebration, Heart Song Inspirations - Anything Goes, House of Gilli -  Anything Goes, Make it Monday - always Anything Goes, Simon Says Stamp and Show... - Something New, The Cutie Pie Challenge cards Use a Sentiment
