Make a wish...

For those who like's Art Journalling...I have posted an Art Journal page here

Hello me lovelies

Hope you all had a great weekend??
I was planning on getting some posts scheduled but i was so busy i totally forgot all about it so hence having no posts for the last few days, anyhoo at least i am here today bringing you a birthday card using Clearly Besotted Make a Wish stamp and matching die collection, i made it a little girly...oh should i say i did it in girly colours because this card lends itself to be a boy card too {obviously boys colours thou!!} lol so without further ado, here's my card...hope you likey :)

Now some of you will noticed it's the same layout to the Valentines card i shared with you recently, well i liked the layout of that card so i thought it would be great for a birthday card too, just love the idea of the balloons bursting out if the frame!! Don't you?!?!
