Lime and red and birthday wishes, oh my!

Be prepared for lots of crafty posts this weekend... I've been a bit lame on the blogging end but I've been relatively creative in the craft room - so I've got lots to share!!



Today I want to start with a birthday card I did based off of the one I did a while back for SketchMania 30. unfortunately doggies at that card.. trust me.. it wasn't a treat for long - and since the event I've been meaning to piggy back off the card a bit.. Thanks to my wonderful friend Purnima (I'll be sharing more about her soon enough!) and her special day a long with Play Date Cafe's gorgeous color challenge I was able to create this card:



I'm not sure what it is about the picture quality... for some reason I couldn't get a very good shot - but you get the gist of the card :)

Supplies:
Fancy pants paper, EP paper, random buttons, twine, a marker, distress ink, black cardstock, white cardstock, Viva Las Vegastamps Miracle tape, Stretch your imagination cricut cart and diamond glaze.
