This is another post with multiple cards for the week long, Birthday Bash over at Catch the Bug. Today, I'm starting with the card I did for the Tuesday challenge.
Tuesday Theme: BINGO Top Row: Die Cut/ Sentiment/ Texture
This sentiment is an image from Bugaboo Stamps and it's a new one for me. I printed it onto aqua CS and used a black ProMarker to enhance the depth of the color on the "Happy Birthday" portion. I die cut the sentiment with border dies from Spellbinders.
The texture on the white background is dry embossed with a folder from Cuttlebug, another new item for my stash. I used my bow maker to tie the polkadot, bowtie bow.
Challenges for this card:

Tuesday Throwdown
Wednesday Theme: Make Us Laugh
Coloring was done with ProMarkers and the image was cut with a scalloped die from Sizzix. The green, grosgrain ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and I simply cut a strip and adhered it like washi tape, using double stick tape on the back of it.
I printed and hand cut the sentiment, inking the edges before adding it. The bow is one of my signature bows, this time with a gem added instead of a pearl.

Thursday Theme: Color Challenge
I used ProMarkers to color the image (a new one for me), selecting colors that were featured in the inspiration photo. I used soft, golden, neutrals as much as possible on the critters, keeping the bold and bright colors for the word "Birthday." I cut the image with a large, rectangle die from QuicKutz and mounted it onto a gray-blue card base. The bronzy-gold ribbon was recycled from a craft store bouquet and the blue ribbon was in my stash. Fun how the edges of the two ribbons matched up.

Well, that's six more birthday cards for my stash and I'll post one more, the last for the Catch the Bug Birthday Bash this week, later this afternoon. I'm so on target with my time frame for all the house projects which have to be done that I'm feeling calm and almost relaxed in the midst of the chaos. lol I'm sure that'll change tomorrow morning when three more major projects are on the list, including a meeting to sell some of the furniture pieces I'm not keeping!
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
