It's your birthday - have a ball


This is a card I made for a friend's birthday.  I used a kit from CraftsUPrint called "All Wrapped Up" by Gillian Hutchinson.  Isn't he so very cute?  In this set you get the main topper, decoupage, smaller topper, insert and sentiments.  

For my card I have used the main topper, decoupage, small toppers and insert.

For my layer under the topper I used Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans and Pumice Stone distress inks around the edge to create a border (there was no point doing the whole piece of 7x7 inch card as the topper would be sitting on it).  I then used a few texture stamps and the same inks to create some texture on the card.  I then used Tim Holtz's Chipped Sapphire distress ink second and third generation with a paw stamp around the edge of the card.

I finished the card off quite simply as I wanted the image and decoupage layers to do the talking so I just added a gingham bow.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
