C4C43 - Best Birthday Wishes!

Now, this is a card that I can say I'm proud of!  Took me a bit, but I love how it came out!  This is an image Paula Williamson gave us in Toronto after the coloring class at Stamping Bella.  I thought I'd use it for my godchild, Sophia's, birthday.  The layout is from the Crazy 4 Challenges #43.  I picked out the American Crafts paper I wanted to use first and then colored kitty to match.

Kitty is colored with prisma pencils and gamsol on Stamping Bella's bestest paper.  This paper ROCKS for prisma pencils!!!!  I used a black embossing pen to touch up her black polka dots and I stamped out a birthday hat from a Studio G stamp, cut it out, popped it up and used a pink embossing pen on it.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things and I used a Cuttlebug circle embossing folder for the yellow panel.  This was a fun sketch!

Thanks for taking a peek today!
