Birthdays are the Best!

Birthdays really are the best, don't cha think?

I love birthdays - I always have. From as early on as I can remember - I have always loved my birthday. My mom always made each of us kids feel so special on our big day. Being the youngest of 5 it was always so nice to feel like the "STAR" for the day. Growing up we didn't have alot of money but our birthday parties were always the best!! They weren't fancy or expensive, but they really were memorable!!

Thanks mom for all the great birthdays!!

Anyways, on to the card du jour.

I created this little cutie using the following challenges :

Sketch from CPS - love this sketch because it provides a great inspiration for multiple patterned papers (all on the same card- which can be a little tricky...)

Lily of the Valley - green and peach

Make it Colorful - coloring backgrounds

Isn't she darling!! I had so much fun coloring her. I LOVE the unsual color combo. It's right up my alley.

For the Make it Colorful background challenge I decided to draw in a room horizon. I just took the Copic multi-liner and hand drew the wall and floor. It made it easy to fill in the background.

 I am also going to include a snap shot of the copic markers I used :

Well, I hope you like!!

See - green and peach really can go together.

Don't be afraid to try unique color combos - you may be surprised at what the outcome will be!!

Have a great day.

this card is for all of you out there in blog-land with April birthdays!!

Happy Birthday!!
