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:

ReplyDeleteIt'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
