Happy Birthday, Wendy!

Hello!  Welcome to the big, fun birthday hop celebration for Wendy Bond!  If you’ve just popped in here and would like to go back to the beginning, you can swing by Karen’s blog HERE. 

A while back, Karen emailed to ask if I’d like to join in on Wendy’s birthday hop and I said “Oh YES!”  Wendy is so sweet, has the best sense of humor and is oh-s0-talented to boot!   (I KNEW I was going to like her when she stamped Emma’s hand on Wyatt’s butt.)

It’s a Cupcake Kind of Day

Hello Cupcake from the Pure Innocence line by My Favorite Things was my choice for Wendy’s card.  I used one of my favorite paper collections (Cosmo Cricket’s Togetherness) and some of my favorite trim and ribbon.

I paper-pieced the girl’s dress, then added shading with a W1 Copic.

On the inside, I stamped the girl again (in Desert Sand ink) and used a sentiment from Birthday Princess, another Pure Innocence set.

So Wendy, I hope you have the BEST birthday ever, and may your cupcake be as BIG as the one above!

Your next stop along the hop is with  MARIA’S CRAFT ROOM!  And if you’d like to wish Wendy a happy birthday, you can do that here. 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tomorrow with Day 1 of MFT’s February release previews!!  Have a great day!
