Christine's Birthday Blog Hop!

that's right!
the one and only owner, illustrator, creator and master behind the amazing Create a Smile Stamps is having a birthday day!!
to celebrate, the Design Team and Video Design Team joined together to celebrate, and show Christine just how important and wonderful she is to us!

we all decided to pick a card that Christine created and to CASE it! i LOVE that idea!
of course, it was nearly impossible to pick just one card, she's so talented! LOVE her style!

without further ado, below is the card i chose on the left that Christine made, and the card i made on the right!

i don't even know where to begin! i LOVE the colors and how they pop! i LOVE that she used a stencil and cut it out and popped it up on that card!! GENIUS! i love the blues!


for my card i used the Nautical Stars Stencil and some distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio! i blended the colors and then fussy cut out the stars i wanted to pop up! talk about FUN!



then i colored that adorable bird image (one of my favorites, ever!) from Jungle Fever, which i colored with copics and adhered to the vellum circle! the sentiment was stamped with StazOn Jet Black Ink, and it's from Penguin Party! 

i hope you hop along and join us in this fun way to celebrate one of the nicest, most genuine and incredibly talented people i know! i am so thankful to be on her Design Team, and even more so that i can call her a friend! thank you, Christine! and happy happy happy birthday to you!

Below is the blog hop order:



enjoy!
