MaryJo, aka Icela 52, is throwing a Big Birthday Bash for her hubby Nick who is turning 79. She has invited the Tea Potters to join in the fun with a Big Birthday Card shower for Nick. I wanted to send something festive and fun and Tweety Bird just seemed to fit the bill (yes, pun intended).
For my card, I first printed Tweety on card stock, die cut the wonky frame, masked the edges and stenciled the balloons. I colored the second image of Tweety and the cake and fussy cut them both. I thought about those old movies where some gorgeous gal would jump out of the top of the cake and wanted Tweety to do the same, so I lopped off the top layer then glued everything and everyone down.
I hope Nick's Bash is as big and wonderful as his heart and determination. He and MaryJo have undergone some difficult times battling Nick's cancer but have never lost faith nor hope. I admire them both so very much. I hope our cards will help brighten Nick's special day. TFL

I'm sure Nick will get a large charge out of your very clever card! I chuckled when I saw it. Love the balloons in the background! Thanks for all the details on how you created your card!

Fabulous fun! The design, the stenciled balloons, and your coloring, fussy cutting, and cutting the cake top to open are perfect. Die-cut number placement, the stitched BG, the headline, and the awesome inside are all fantastic!!!

This is just totally fun, Debbie. I got the riff on a glamorous girl jumping out straight away. Give me Tweety Bird any day. I am sure this will really make Nick smile.

Debbie, your card just screams Happy 79th Birthday! Nick will surely love that 'cute chick' popping out of his birthday cake! I just love that Tweety is holding the numbers!
