Belated Birthday

Hi everyone!

I hope your day is going smoothly so far!

I have a super cute card (at least it is to me lol) that I wanted to share with you today.

I loved the sketch over on the MFT card challenges blog and immediately knew I wanted to play along. 

 I went looking through my stamps, and came across this adorable sloth and knew I wanted to use him for this card. 

 I started with a white top folding A2 card and covered it with some blue striped patterned paper. I trimmed down a white panel, die cut a circle to create the opening and then embossed it with a polka dot embossing folder. I popped my white panel up onto my card front with some foam tape, just to add a little interest to the opening itself. I stamped my sloth with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with my Copic markers before fussy cutting him out. I stamped my sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock, making sure to stamp it more towards the bottom of the strip, and glued it to my embossed panel. I added my sloth, adhering the bottom part of him with glue to the sentiment strip and the top half with foam tape into the window opening. I also added just a bit of glue to the balloon. I finished my card with a few little clouds and some clear Wink of Stella to the balloon. 

I think it is just so cute!!
