Happy Birthday, Paulette!

Good morning!  Happy Monday and Tax Day!  Today is a special day for another reason!  Today we celebrate the birthday girl, Paulette, of Create with TLC!  The design team got together and all made cards for Paulette using one her wonderful vintage images!  Her sneaky daughter, Bri, agreed to post them all on the Create With TLC blog as a birthday surprise for Paulette!  Happy Birthday, Paulette!  Hope you enjoyed your surprise!  May your day and year be filled with love and happiness!  Thank you for everything!

Here is my birthday card:


The card base and mats are SU Marina Mist and the papers are from the Kaisercraft Miss Nelly 6.5x6.5 pad.  The image and sentiment are both from Create With TLC.  The image is colored with Copics.  A triple-loop bow of Marina Mist taffeta and another mulberry paper rose from my Jacque's Sunday Sweet Stuff stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Create With TLC blog and check out all the beautiful birthday cards for Paulette!

I am entering my card in a couple of challenges:
Friday Sketch Challenge #41 (Debra's sketch)
Addicted-to-Stamps Challenge #54 (birthday card with sentiment)
One Stop Craft Challenge #224 (pastel colours)

Have a great day and see you soon!
