Now - on to my card! 

Perfect little birthday card, isn't it? I have used Tilda w/Ballons from the So Special Collection. You can purchase her up at Magnolia-licious.  I have colored her with Copic markers. Do you notice anything else? Yep...I finally did a little paper Piecing. My friend Wendy does some beautiful things with paper piecing and I thought I would give it a try. I have to tell you, I LOVE it. I have a couple other things that I have started to paper piece now too.   I also added some liquid glass to the balloons and shoes.

The paper is from My Minds Eye. I bought several packs a couple of weeks ago and I am so in love with them all!! It's kind of hard to use them!! I thought the banners would be perfect for a birthday card. Flowers are Wild Orchard Crafts, Ribbon is CTMH and the Sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Please sign up at the CMC Classroom and join in on the festivities - those prizes are sooooo worth it!
