It's Your Day! and Great News!

Wanna know my Great News! There's a new Design Team in town and I'm on it!!! By LORi Designs has a new weekly color challenge and recently had a DT call...so here I am with my first card for the By LORi Designs Challenge #4! I love, love, love color challenges and {heart}Lori Boyd's adorable images, so this is a perfect combination for me! Here's the sweet graphic for this week's color combo...

My card features BLD's Puddle Jumper... Birthday Emma! She also comes with a present and a Happy Birthday sentiment, but I chose to use just her and her cute balloons this time! I colored my image with Copics and cut her out with the large oval Spellbinders die leaving the balloons to peek over the edge! She's popped up on top of some green cardstock embossed with the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy folder...and...this is my first post with a card with real, sewing machine stitching on it...I know...it's about time, right! (I had to do a bit of stampy re-organizing to make room for the sewing machine! Check that off the list!)

There's another panel embossed with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder, a couple layers of white, grosgrain ribbon topped with a big 'ole bow and button and a few gems! My sentiment is from the PTI Friendship Jar set and cut out with the small ovals set from Spellbinders then popped up to match my image. A couple more gems give it the finishing touch!
