When I was a child, my mother always talked about "Decoration Day" in the same tones one used to say "Valentines" or "Fourth of July." I actually thought there was a national holiday called "Decoration Day." Once I attained adulthood and she was no longer responsible for birthday celebrations for her children, I learned that "Decoration Day" meant the day she set aside to bake and decorate the birthday cakes for the celebrations. lol
This image from House Mouse brings back those childhood memories. I used ProMarkers on the image, then cut it with a Tonic Studios die. The two layers of dp scraps were also cut with dies from Tonic Studios. The dark, sparkly background was done using DCWV card stock on the front before adding the 3 layers in the image piece and the additional 2 layers in the sentiment piece. I added a hand-tied, gingham bow as the final touch.
One more card for the birthday card stash which will get used for a grandchild this fall.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
