birthday cards...

i need to make some birthday cards the other day. i was completely stumped on what to do. i took a different approach this time, though. i have oodles and gobs of ribbon. i really am trying to use more of my supply. so i found one that i love and created a card around it, using colors that matched it. this is what i came up with. the inside says "happy birthday". i colored the image with a blender pen and su inks.











happy birthday
stamps: stampin up
cardstock: green galore (su)
ink: purely pomegranate, green galor (su); onyx black versafine
embellishments: ribbon, staples, rubons (pebbles in my pocket)
other: cuttlebug embossing folder, blender pen
