Birthday Card ~ Celebrate With a Friend

I have a birthday card to share with you today.

I created the banners by cutting the designs from some colorful design paper.

I used an oval die to cut the balloons and added twine for their strings.

I stamped, colored then cut out the cute bird and kitty.

The balloons, sentiment and animals

are attached using foam tape for dimension.
