It's Friday and time for the Blogger Challenge. This weeks theme is, Birthdays (we all have them and we all need cards for them). Since I was late getting started on my card due to hand issues (yes they get sore and some days they hurt more then others) I opted for a non-stamped card today.I can't take credit for this design since it's largely cased from a card made by the fabulous Kim Hughes out of the current Stamp It Cards issues (Page 16). She stamped a bird image, I chose to punch mine using the new SU XL Two-Step bird punch currently available in the Occasions Mini Catalog.
The paper I used for this card is from the Sweet Pea Designer series pack also available in the Occasions Mini catalog as are the Sweet Pea felt flowers that I used.
The sentiment is a rub-on from the Chit Chat rub-ons (SU). I did use 3 Olive Sprinkles available from Annabelle Stamps. The ribbon is retired SU and the birds eye is a tiny Zva pearl from Hope Stamps Eternal.
I hope you enjoy this card as I think it's perfect for a Spring time birthday. Don't forget to check out the other BC members blogs (click on the Icon on my sidebar) and check out their fabulous birthday creations.
