Pawsome Birthday

Hi there.  I'm really glad you stopped by!

I had so much fun making this card!


I stamped and colored these sweet critters and cut them with 
the matching die from my NBUS stash.  Actually Darnell enabled me to
get this set after I saw this card!  Thanks, my friend.

I stamped, embossed and die cut the little banners and wrapped them
around a toothpick broken in half. Then I glued a micro bead to the point of
the toothpick for safety as well as a finishing touch.

The pooch is attached with a wobble so he is quite bouncy.  The birds have
dimensionals behind them.

I had some streamers in my stash that I cut out with my friend's die.
It was a good way to use snippets of colored foil.

Challenges:
NBUS #16 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Seize the Birthday #194 - Red, White & Blue
