Happy Birthday Card

Hey Friends!
Today (after a long while... I know), I want to share a card I created for my sweet sister's birthday. She'll get the card on Saturday so hopefully she doesn't read this before then :P

So... I've discovered something. What, you ask? I {heart} Some Odd Girl! Oh my! Such cuteness! The company itself offers both clear stamps and digital images. I took advantage of the black Friday Sale in which they had 40% off their digis. Score!

I created this card with the Spectacular Soiree digi from SOG and coloured it up with my Copics. After colouring it all up and fussy cutting it out, I added a touch of glitter to certain parts of the image (shoes, balloons and party hats) with my clear At You spica pen. Then, I popped up the image with foam adhesive and stuck it into the middle panel. All three panels, including the front, are covered in the same paper as mentioned below.

The paper line I used was from Crate Paper and Maggie Holmes. The card base is created from run of the mill Recollections cardstock. I scored and folded it into an elevated gate-fold so it would accommodate the popping up of the image I had in my head. Worked like a charm. And added a belly band.

Finally, I added some clear rhinestones and called it done!
I'll write the message to my sissy on the far left panel... it's the perfect space for it!

Hope you all enjoyed my post and card today. I had a fun time getting back into my craft room and actually making something!
Big hugs!
