Happy Birthday......{Challenge Entry}

Happy Sunday everyone!!

Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend!!

I am playing along in some challenges I like to enter into so I have another birthday card to share that will be linked up to a few of my favorites. All the challenges are listed below and if you have not checked out some of these...what are you waiting for?? They are all so much fun and always packed with gorgeous inspiration. But before you check them out here is my card.....Hope you like it :)

I used this week's Seize the Birthday sketch (pictured below) and the challenge for this week was a feminine birthday card. Using one of my all time favorite characters~ Ava (this one is Ava Flower) from Bugaboo Stamps I printed her and colored her using my copics. 

Here she is up close :) I added a flat back pearl to her flower center, the a felt flower and petal to the base. The sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps~ Wish BIG stamp set (it is one of the new release sets for this month!)

Now you know me....I can not go without adding some stitching so I ran the mat through my sewing machine using 2 different stitches....one to border the mat and the other to border the designer paper to my embossed cardstock.

I finished it off by attaching the entire mat to my Brown Kraft A2 card base.

So there you have it...another birthday card to add to my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!
