"Happy Birthday" card

We can never have too many birthday cards on hand, can we? No, we can't!!

The sketch at CTO inspired me and this paper made it easy!

Challenges...
Celebrate the Occasion - birthday (must follow sketch)
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - bird on project
Birthday Sundaes - birthday card

What I used:
~Recollections "Charming" paper (love the brown and blue!)
~CM 2" square punch
~Fiskars stamp with Timber Brown StazOn ink
~Fiskars scalloped circle punch
~bird from April Showers (I narrowed him in DS and trimmed off his perch)
~Tim Holtz distress ink
~adhesive pearl, ribbon, and pop dots

Thanks for stopping by!!
