I picked a random selection of strips of paper and chose to color my image - Party Pig trio - based on their colors. The background I colored while keeping the image inside of the die, to get the white border. I then cut my papers into strips to make a background using the sunray technique. I stitched around the edges, added two stamped birthday greetings and 6 pink enamel dots. I think this card has a cheerful look and will be given to someone special.
This card is also for these challenges:
1) Southern Girls - Celebrations
2) Penny's Paper-Crafty - #205 Anything goes
3) Brown Sugar - #122 Anything Goes
That pattern is so perfect for scraps. We should do a scrap swap so we get different stuff to work with! Your card is soooooooo much fun and I love the matched image.
