Happy Birthday, Lori!

Today is my dear, sweet, funny and amazing friend, Lori Craig‘s birthday.  Just a few (tons) of her friends have gotten together to wish her a very happy day.  I’m so proud (and lucky) to be one of them.  🙂

For my card to Lori, I used Patricia Birthdaycake, one of the many Stamping Bella images that sit on my desk in a nice little container, patiently waiting for ink.

I used my favorite sheets of Lily Bee Designs “Picket Fence” papers, my favorite new purple ribbon and two of the prettiest new Copic colors, V20 and V25.

You can’t see it in this photo, but I also used a bit of Lilac and Clear Spica glitter pen over the dress, hat, wings and cake.

My coloring isn’t perfect, and I’m just a little paranoid sending this to a representative of Copic (hee, hee, hee).  But nonetheless, I love how this card turned out. 

And Lori, I hope you have one AMAZING day.  Because you deserve it, my friend.  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I’ll be back tomorrow with Lori and the rest of my JiFFy friends for a long over-due JiFFy Challenge.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  🙂
