Watercooler Wednesday Birthday...

I'm all about the fall colors right now, so no surprise I decided to use the Painted Autumn DSP. I decided to go back a year and use "Brittany" from Rubbernecker Stamps for my birthday girl! This was another purchase from the 2016 stamp show when I was a brand new stamper just learning the ropes of stamping. I also used my new Nuvo glitter markers to color the gifts and Old Olive for her coat. A little color to make her pop. I'm still working on the coloring as I go along. I'm a work in process and looking forward to the Creative Art Journey retreat to learn some new techniques.

I always like to add a little something to the inside of my cards to tie them all together. For this card it was some extra balloons I had in my "extras" box. I'm going to need to make my own challenge to use items only from my "extras" box in the near future.
