Happy Birthday Mantel

Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you... happy birthday dear Joni... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Just be glad you can't really hear me sing that to you! LOL

Today is my dear friend Joni's birthday so we, her faithful team, decided to have a little virtual party for her and here's the card I made to celebrate Joni!


I used Inktegrity's newest images and current challenge to create my card. The base is the Mantel that you can grab as a freebie and get in on the challenge. I then added the slice of cake and presents from Little Helper to the mantel. I created the Happy Birthday banner using a font called Brady Bunch Remastered (dafont.com), cut them out and then glued on to create a swag banner and drew in the string with my Copic liner. I did also draw on a couple of other challenges to help me create this fun card. The challenges over at Just Us Girls and The Corrosive Challenge Blog is to create a card using embossing, so I ran a piece of Only Orange (Joni's favorite color) through the Cuttlebug with the Happy Birthday folder and I found this great and so friendly sketch at Scrap 'n Stamp (a Canadian online store).

I hope you like my card Joni (and everyone else). Wishing you a year of happiness, prosperity, love and friendship! {{ HUGS }}
