Birthday Card ~ Happiness {1st Post}

The other day I found this paper and just knew it 

would be perfect for creating something with summer colors.

The paper design has colorful watercolor squares.

I cut the paper so the four squares meet in the middle.

I did a little paper piecing for the cat, presents and hats.

Next I die cut three banners and strung them up.

Then I hand cut the banner to fit the sentiment.

I finished off by stamping scattered confetti.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Cat, presents, hats and sentiment from the Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set from Newton's Nook.
*Flag banner cut using the Blue Skies die set from Lawn Fawn.
*Sentiment banner hand cut to fit.
*Checkered Path design paper from Paper Adventures.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad.

May your day always be filled with love.
