Since the new year is approaching I wanted to get a start on birthday cards for 2016. I always need them faster than I can make them. I am off work this week so there is no time like the present to get a good start. Today I am using From the Heart Stamps.
This is Birthday Candle Birdbrain. I colored him with a mixture of Bic and Copic markers. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set and die cut from vellum with MFT Fishtail Flag Stax. The image was die cut from Spellbinder's Picot Edge Circles and inked with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.The background is a scrap from my scrap box and backed with purple card stock that matches the purple of the numbers. The vellum is glued under the self-adhesive gems and affixed with the metal star at the other end. I used the sketch from i {heart} card sketches with a twist. I didn't use the twist of distressed edges.
I am entering these challenges:
- i {heart} card sketches with a twist: sketch
- From the Heart Birthday challenge: birthday card with FTHS image
- Seize the Birthday: anything goes
- Stamping Boutique: anything goes
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are weathering the storms without incident. Be safe and enjoy crafting. Make it an awesome week.

This is just darling! I feel so bad for people that have birthdays at the end of the year- I think they so often get lost in the holiday of Christmas and New Years! I have a SIL that celebrates at this time, we always try to make it special Hoping you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2016 will bring many blessings to you and your family!
That's how I feel about birthdays nowadays!
Love your card Donna!
Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday!
This is really cute! Our weather here has been so weird. I believe they said it was the warmest Christmas on record for this area. It is supposed to get cold this Friday. My craft room is on the lower level of the house so it stays cool down here. I am trying to get some crafting done before it gets cold. I made some Valentine and Easter tags and I have some baby shoes to make for my new Granddaughter. Her Daddy just got appointed Judge. She needs a certain pair of shoes to go with her outfit for the, I guess it is a swearing in ceremony. We are so proud of him!
