Happy Birthday Wendy!!!!!


Today is my special friend Wendy's birthday. Even though she is 'much' younger than me, I tell everyone she is my mother. Because I want to inherit her scrapbook room. It is PACKED with the most wonderful things. Wendy is also the person who started me stamping. I did not realize at the time what a monster she was unleashing! (Nor did my poor DH!) I wanted to make her a card that was special and one that would let her know how much she is loved. This is a favorite Mo Manning image of mine. I chose to do an easel card. I colored her with Copics and framed her with a Spellbinders die. I traced around the die with a 'fat pencil' (you know the kind we used in kindergarten)! I hand cut that mat. I added a bright polk a dot ribbon and double bow. My mulberry roses are from WOC. The sentiment is from SU (thanks Wendy--my SU dealer) and a little heart charm finished off this birthday card.
Happy Birthday Wendy!

This is so adorable Patty! Love the easel card and never thought to use a fat crayon to make a larger mat, great idea! Love your coloring and the flowers you used, beautifully done!

Fabulous Patty and I know Wendy will adore this, after all, how wouldn't?
Easel cards are always so beautiful and my favourite type to make.
I hope you managed to sort out the little problem, made me laugh though I know you didn't find it amusing!

Love & hugs
