I am giving this quick and simple birthday card to my BIL who is very much a cat-lover.
I coloured the cute puss with pencils and OMS, lightly chalked around the image with Kaisercolour blue chalk, then added a teeny-weeny bit of lemon glitter to the flames on the candles. I used a pin to dot the glue where I needed it. The blue star brads under the sentiment are sparkly which is a little hard to see in the photo. They are from a set of star brads by Making Memories shimmer 'Stars in Bloom'. I added the ribbon in 2 separate elements.
The dry embossing on the Kraft cs was done with my Cuttlebug and one of the ef's from the Sizzix Textured Impressions Birthday Set #3 #656504.
I am also entering this card into the Charisma Cardz Challenge #9 of 'Four legged friends'. I have links and deets on my Blog.
