Happy Birthday Clown Card...

Hey there, I'm back.  Nope, I didn't go on vacation!  Just had many things to do as the New Year started.  On the other hand, I've been coloring some images when I find the time and I've had quite a bit ready to make a card with so, here's one I made featuring a Dustin Pike image.  I colored it with my Pro Marker/Prismacolor markers, dry embossed the base kraft CS with 2 embossing folders---one from Tim Holtz/Sizzix and the other from Cuttlebug.  I used a DP from Paper Studio (Birthday Extravaganza) and die cut a border using EK Success Border Punch.  I attached some gems and did sewing all over the card.  Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from Stampendous.  So, here it is and hope you like it too. This card is entered into the following Challenges:

1.  Dustin Pike featuring "Birthdays"
2.  The Pink Elephant featuring "Favorite Colors"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLOWN CARD WITH ENVELOPE:

The envelope was stamped with a balloon image from a collection I don't remember from.  I took it off it's original packaging and filed it with similar stamps and now, I don't remember who made them.  I stamped it with green cat's eyes (chalk ink) and was not satisfied because it made it a bit light especially in a Kraft envelope.  So, I double stamp it using Memento ink that i just applied on the edge of the balloon stamp and I was pretty happy with the result.  The sentiment in the middle was from Stampendous.  Okay folks, that's it for now and hopefully I can complete another card pretty soon...Not feeling too well today...allergies are just bugging me with some irritating headaches too.  I trust in the Lord's healing and will find comfort from this inconvenience shortly.  God bless!
