Birthday girl with her Dog

 

I think Bugaboo digital images would make anyone smile and especially on their birthday.  That's what Die Cut Divas' challenge is all about this month.  

The theme is BIRTHDAYS

Winner will receive a $12 gift code to shop the store.

Here is my project-

 

 

 

I have used this image numerous times, and it's so darn cute for a birthday girl! The color combos are endless!

 

I used the Altenew Spring Shower die to emboss the background, and then cut the same die out of white to add  flowers and leaves to the background. I used the same Copic markers to color the leaves and flowers to give a bit of continuity to the card.

 

Here is a materials list for this card- 

1. Image: Puppy Girl (Bugaboo Stamps), colored with Copics.
2. Die: Spring Shower Cover Die (Altenew), banner from Bouqet Accessories (Hero Arts).
3. Stamp: sentiment from Sending Love Mail (Hero Arts), Versafine Onyx Ink.
4. Paper: white cardstock, Light and dark pink paper (scrap stash).
