Friendly Birthday Wishes

 At the beginning of the year, I challenged myself to make one birthday card a month so I wasn't scrambling through out the year when I need a card. 

I haven't been successful in my personal challenge over the last few months so this week I decided I needed to get back on track made a birthday card for one of my cat loving friends featuring Friendly Kitty from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

After colouring with my Copic markers, I hand cut the stamp leaving a really thin white edge to help it stand out on the background. Patterned paper from Honey Bee was perfect for my background and design so I cut a circle to fit the pleated card stock circle, cut a strip to go behind the tag and then cut a co-ordinating piece for my card base.

Next I cut a tag and after putting London Fog distress ink on all the paper edges I added the circle and layers. I stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment to tuck up under the stamp and glued everything down. Some ribbon on the tag and enamel dots finish off my card.
