Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card that I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card that I CASED:

For my card I started with the stamping.  I stamped the branch and masked it off to stamp the present and the bird.  Then I stamped the balloon.  Next I colored in the images using Copic markers.  For the balloon string I pierced a hole on the bird wing and in the balloon, and then added the baker's twine through these holes.  To finish the balloon I added a baker's twine bow.  Before I added the sentiment I trimmed down the focal panel to 3 7/8 x 3 7/8.  I added a black mat and adhered this to my card base.  For the sentiment I heat embossed it in white and cut up the words into strips using the sentiment dies.  For the inside I simply completed the sentiment with a large birthday die.

Well it's back to school for me tomorrow! UGH!  I'll be back to being a weekend stamper!  See you next weekend!!
