A Spoon Full of Sugar - Birthdays with a new Stamavie image!

Good Day! Tuesday already and that is A Spoon Full of Sugar day we know - today's challenge is a Birthday challenge, nice simple and always needed for our card stash!

This was an opportunity to use one of the brand new Stampavie images that I had colored up playing with the new Letraset Aqua-markers - I ADORE this new image... is it the image or the name? "Cheeky Boy" by artist Penny Johnson. Isn't he just too cute?

I cut the image out with my Nesties label die and then used the red marker to create a mat around him.

For the card I went with the DCWV Blue Jeans stack, seemed to work really well with the image I had colored - and the denim is perfect for any little boy right?

The inside is decorated as well... this is where the "birthday" wish comes in too -

I was very proud of my very first pleated flower... is that what these are called? I don't know for sure but I have been seeing them on cards and loved how cute they are... so I sat down and figured out how to make one all by my self! LOL Wasn't that hard really... I just cut a strip and inch wide and 12 inches long. Then I scored it every 1/2 inch and then folded back and forth. Then attached the two ends together and messed with it a few minutes to make it look like a round circle.... now keeping it that way.. that was the hard part! I ended up putting some heavy two sided tape in two strips across the back of the flower and sticking it down quick before it popped up! For the pretty center I added a red button with twine tied through it. The sentiment is from Papertrey ink, then finished off with a Martha Stewart leaf.

Now pop on over to A Spoon Full of Sugar and see all the birthday wishes!

Have a wonderful Tuesday! See you tomorrow for Me and My Space :0)
