It's my birthday TODAY and what better way to celebrate than with my fabulous Birthday Sundaes DT pals & Birthday Sundaes Challenge! :)
This week's challenge is sponsored by Whimsie Doodles and the theme is to create a Birthday Card with a Birthday Sentiment! You don't even have to use a Whimsie Doodles image to play!
Here's my card for this week:
Here's another view of the card:
supplies: CS: kraft (Bazzill), Solar White (Neenah); DP: My Mind's Eye; digi stamp: Balloon Leah (Whimsie Doodles); sentiment stamp: Birthday, Birthday (Pink By Design); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); twine (Whisker Graphics); brads (American Crafts); scalloped rectangle Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Copic Markers
Since it's my birthday I wanted to make a really special card for this week's challenge and try something I've never done before - a center step card! Super easy to make... and FUN too! I'm totally going to make more of these - I LOVE this type of fold! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT have created this week:
