Birthday cards, birthday cards, birthday cards…..you always need birthday cards. My daughter turned 30 several months ago so I made her a special card for her day. I found this Stamping Bella image, Uptown Girl Opal the Optimist, to fit perfectly for her. I used my Prismacolor Colored pencils on the image.
Here is what I came up with…….

A close up…

I felt I needed something on the border, so I used a stamp from the Simon Says Stamp stamp set Birthday Bits. I added another stamp from Simon Says Stamp, Handwritten Borders.
Another look……..

A peek inside….

Of course I had to mention that it was her 30th birthday, right? I used the Avery Elle Numbered Balloon dies, and just snipped the end off. I added some details with the same stamp I used on the border. A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were just the right touch!
One final look…..

Thanks for stopping by!
