A Bookworm Birthday

I'm sharing a card today that I made for a voracious reader (I just liked using the word voracious).  Anyway, I haven't inked up the Our Story MFT stamp set yet, and I was inspired by the many great cards that used it in the MFT Superstar challenge.  This is the inside of the card and the chair and table are popped up.
This is how I imagine my dear aunt enjoying her birthday - curled up with her yellow lab and kitty.  A banner in the back says it's her birthday, but she enjoys quiet time alone.  You may recognize the images in the picture on the wall behind the girl.  They are from the MFT stamp set Up in the Air.

 Here's the front of the card:

Supplies:
Stamps:  MFT Our Story, Up in the Air, Happy Hippos (balloons)
Dies:  MFT Celebrate, Fringed Scalloped Borders, Stitched Scallop Basic Edge, Inside and Out Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stax, Pop Up Elements Narrow
Copics:  E000, 00, 11,31,33,35,37,39,50, C00,0,2,7,8, BG70,72,75,78, YG00, 03,06, Y21,23,26, R00, 12,14, YR00,20 BV00
Patterned Paper:  MFT Dots and Stripes Confection, Plaid Patterns
Other:  Woodgrain embossing folder, DI Tea Dye, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

This card is going over to play in the following challenges:

Yay!  It's Darnell's 12th NBUS Challenge!  All three stamp sets I mentioned are NBUS!

Thanks for coming over for a visit.  I hope you are having a wonderful day!

  4. It's so great to have you back from summer break, Kara! I've gone back to make sure and catch all your creations since you've come back! No doubt in my mind that you ARE an MFT Superstar, whether they agree or not! (But how could they not???!) This card for your aunt is extraordinary in every way! I'm sure I've said this before but you have missed your calling as a children's book illustrator! Your coloring and your attention to the smallest detail ... I mean, really? That photo on the wall? Please!! You are AWEmazing!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #12! Hugs, Darnell
