Expresstions of me!

Hi and a Happy Tuesday!! This is my second post for the day. For City Crafter go here

I just love Moxie Fab's "Trigger Tuesday" challenges but don't always have time to play , that darned working always gets in the way :-). But remember my New Year's resolution....Do more challenges! So, I bought this adorable little stamp from Stampin up! a few months ago and when I saw the picture in the challenge I knew I wanted to make a card with it! It's Cathy's mom's Birthday this week and she wants her Mom to come back from Hawaii...(jealous) ! to some Birthday cards...What a nice daughter :-)

Here's the inspiration picture!

What inspired me was the happy colors and the adorable bird. I used similar leaves as the white ones in the picture. I always thought a party banner would be cute under the bird, like the inspiration picture.I incorporated all the colors in the picture and a sweet birthday owl!

His chest is colored with copics. The paper I used is MME, and Basic Grey's Fiction paper. I used PTI ink's and cut some leaves out by hand to add dimension to the card. The owl is also hand cut.

Please stop by and join in this week to moxiefabworld this week to wish Cathy's mom a Happy Birthday!!

I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp challenge

Have a wonderful day! Char
