Crafty catz Challenge #465 - ATG Optional Happy Birthday

Good morning I am the host of this weeks challenge at CRAFTY CATZ.

As always our challenges are Anything Goes but we have a optional just for fun twist which is HAPPY BIRTHDAY

(well it is my Birthday today so I couldnt pick anything else could I)

Our sponsor for this challenge that kindly gave each of the Dt a image is

A DAY FOR DAISIES

Sadly come July Tammy is closing her shop so grab those images while you can.

Tammy has said she is happy to continue any sponsorship to the end of the year so you will still be able to view her shop and request your prize. So a prize to this shop will be something extra special.

So onto my card and I got to play with Curvy Balloons

I have coloured my image with promarkers

Using the colours in the papers for my inspiration

The sentiment is a Whispers stamp

Dp is a old pad think a Papermania and a 12x12 I got from the works which is more like a card than paper.

The diecut was in a RAK from a friend so sorry not sure who the make is.

A few gems to finish off the bling

Well thats my card pop over to the challenge blog and see what other fab images the team has used. Then it is your turn.
