Happy Birthday Tanya!

This one is for our baby who is turning 8! She loves having her birthday in the July month as she associates it with the celebration of our country. When she saw my other orange and blue striped card she wanted one for her birthday.

This is totally appropriate for her as she is such a star! She shines so brightly.

I used my Silhouette to get the shapes although I am still working on getting comfortable with it.

I cut 1" strips for the masking and stamped alternating polka dots and happy birthday expressions. I then clear embossed them and sponged them with orange and blue. The top layer was stamped with versamark for the sentiment and the polka dots again. I embossed with orange embossing powder and finished it off with some sponged blue edges.

The buttons were just a little accent for me. The girls don't like me to add the buttons but I wanted some height on the card. :)
