Theodore Birthday

Catch the Bug are having a week long birthday bash along with a Blog Hop:

This is my card for the first challenge which is Anything Birthday:


I have gone with a soft pastel look for this card with some lovely summery ice-creams.  We are in the middle of summer here at the moment so ice-creams is appropriate.  Today it is a bit overcast but we could do with it being a little cooler for a day or two!  The heat is quite draining.

The papers that I have used both come from a paper pad by American Crafts called Neopolitan.  It has a lovely mix of mainly pastel shaded papers.  The ribbon that I have used also comes from American Crafts - bought a while back but it matches these papers perfectly.  The colouring is done with copic markers.  The image is one of my favourite birthday images from Bugaboo and is called Theodore Birthday Sign. I added some faux stitching around the edge of the image using a Black Soot Distress Marker and some glossy accents to the balloons and Theodore's nose.
