Since my New Day Rooster card is going to someone other than the birthday girl it was originally intended for, this is my birthday card. Image stamped on white card, coloured with pencils and sponged. I punched the corners and added a strand of gold floss. Trying to use more DP this year, so I added a base of DP with an embossed strip of white, two little borders (Top Dog Dies) and ribbon - trying to use more of that this year too!. I added two little birthday tags with a brad - originally red with white spots, but I turned them black with a Sharpie.

Love this! Your sunflowers are fantastic, and coordinates with the dp beautifully! I love the notched corners and your idea for using ribbon - something I need to do, as well! This will no doubt be the recipients favorite birthday card!

Those notched corners are a great idea! I own this pretty stamp - - you've done a great job coloring it. I, too, rarely use my ribbon and want to try to use it more. Your yellow ribbon was a lovely choice against this DP and a perfect accent for the sunflowers.

Wonderfully cheerful sunflower card, and I see that you have included some lucky ladybugs!! The ribbon, the embossed piece edged with the border punch, and the notched corners with the twine trailing around the edge - all add a ton of interest to your card!! LOVELY, Sabrina!!

This looks fabulous Sabrina. The dp looks perfect with your terrifically coloured sunflower and I love your little ladybugs. The notched corners with thread are the icing on the cake my friend.

OMG, Sabrina, when I find a few moments to browse through your gallery, I find a whole new collection of masterpieces. I don't know how you can design and make so many fantastic cards...each one would take me weeks. The coloring and color choices of this are awesome, the corner treatment with the twine and corner punchis genius, and the entire card is perfection. Pinned and faved.
