Happy 3rd Birthday Niece!

TGIF!!
 
Another great-niece of mine (she and her cousin were born just 6 days apart!), is turning 3 very soon, and I incorporated 2 different challenges for inspiration...
 
The first is a sketch challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches #369, and the other is from the 
CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #156 to "use dimension & bling".
 
Both of my nieces are just darlings, and I enjoy spending time with them.
 
Hope you have a great weekend,

Celebrate Best of Birthdays

Hey there!
 
I'm in the process of creating some cards for my sister's stash, and this one was fun because I was able to color...coloring isn't just for kids anymore!
 
I started with Kraft paper, tucked in a bit of blue using the Swirls embossing folder, then added that image after coloring with Prisma watercolor pencils and punching it out.
 
I think the added twine and button really finish it off.
 
Thanks for stopping by today!
