It's the second week of the Birthday cards for Kids or Shades of Blue challenge at Card Cupids, sponsored by Fresh Brewed Designs.
My card features FBD's "Fairy Sweet" digi stamp, which I completely paper pieced. Well, the color on the dots on the mushroom was done with a Sakura gel pen, but everything else is paper. The vine is cut as a complete piece, which seemed easier than cutting out the tiny leaves separately. I did some faux stitching on the borders with a shiny blue Elmer's gel pen.
The sentiment digi stamp is by When the Scrap Hits the Fun, but I colorized it in blues using PhotoShop. I cut/embossed it with a Spellbinders die, and added dots with a different Sakura gel pen.
My Card Cupids DT teamie Gina made a fabulous card using this same image; check them out side by side!
