Whimsical Birthday Wishes for Nancy!!

PLEASE CLICK HERE OR SCROLL DOWN FOR MY MTSC100 POST! THANKS!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!!

Today, a bunch of us girls have gotten together to wish our sweet friend Nancy a VERY Whimsical Birthday!!! Nancy is the AMAZING illustrator for the Whimsical Wishes Line at Taylored Expressions, and she is as sweet as she is talented!!!

For my card today, I started with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch from Sunday, SSSC93! I pulled out my beloved Make A Wish set from Taylored Expressions, which was illustrated by Nancy, and got to work!!

I stamped the cake and cake plate in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I added some Starfire Glitter with my Quickie Glue Pen to the star candles and the green bubbles on the bottom of the cake.

I cut out and embossed the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities and layered it over a piece of Spring Moss cardstock cut with Big Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities. The Plum Pudding layer was embossed with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder and all the patterned paper is from Pixie-Licous from Cosmo Cricket. I sewed each layer on my sewing machine and stamped the sentiment, "Happy Birthday" onto the polka dot pattern. The sentiment actually reads "Happy Birthday to you" but I just inked up part of it so it would fit on my panel.

A Plum Pudding bow created with the Bow Easy, and some of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles (and yes, I used the Embellie Gellie to get em' on!) finish this one off!!

Nancy, I hope you have a Birthday that is as FABULOUS as you! Happy Birthday girl!!
