Clean and Simple Birthday Card

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far! I was able to get in my craft room and play a little bit and I made an adorable card (at least I think so) to play along with a few challenges. 

Here is a look at the card that I created and how I created it:

I created my card base from some light pink cardstock and then layered some fun patterned paper strips onto the front. Great way to use up some scraps!! I stamped my greeting onto a piece of gray cardstock with Versamark ink, heat embossed it with some white embossing powder & layered it onto my card. I brought out an older stamp set from MFT to play with and colored that sweet little elephant with my Copic markers. I used a stitched circle die from Jaded Blossom to cut it out and adhered it to my card with some foam tape. I stamped and additional balloon, colored it and fussy cut it out so that it went outside of my die cut circle just a bit. I added a little bow to my elephant and some little sprinkles from Doodlebug to complete my card!

I just adore how this turned out!!!

The challenges I am entering my card into are:
