Star Spangled Birthday



Hi Hi! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!  My apologies for being so late in getting this post finished.  We were without power for about 16 hours and I am just now getting electric and internet back. Phew! I felt like I live in the boonies, without power! LOL

Anyway, we have a new Stella Says Sketch challenge for you, this fortnight, at Catch The Bug! You have two weeks to play along, so be sure you don't miss out on the opportunity! There are awesome digi prize packs from Bugaboo Stamps up for grabs!

My project today is a birthday card, using Sock Elephant Balloon, from Bugaboo Stamps. This little cutie is colored with Promarkers and done in a red white and blue color theme for upcoming independence day, with a birthday twist. The papers are all from my stash.  A Fiskars punch was used to punch the border. I used blue ribbon and a red gingham bow, also from my stash. Buttons recycled from old clothing have been used as embellishments.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set by Stampin Up, and is punched with the word window and modern label punches.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:
