Hoppy Birthday 2 You

A chance here to use up something that has been sitting in my stash for quite some time.  A while ago (a couple of years at least) I bought some packets of mixed rhinestones as I thought they would be good embellishments for cards.  In the meantime, self adhesive rhinestones came on to the market and were much simpler to use.  The ones on this card are the type that I need to add adhesive to - but it is time to start using them instead of having them collect dust!

This card is for the following challenges:
Imagine That - Progressive Challenge

Clear It Out Challenge - Earth Colours stash

The paper is from a paper pad by MME - I love those paper pads!  The matting is green paper from a green scrap paper pack.  The image is from Imagine That and has been coloured with copic markers with the addition of some Glossy Accents on the balloon.  The embellishment is the rhinestones mentioned above on top of an offcut of the mesh/ribbon that I bought when on holiday.  I used a piece on a card last week and this little piece was left over.

  2. aww, so cute Suze! I love your coloring and how much contrast there is between turtle and frog. So fun to see how differently everyone colors them. *Ü* Cute addition with the green rhinestones too! Have a great weekend and thanks for playing at the IT blog!
