From the first moment I saw this image I loved it. I have not seen a bad rendition of this ever but I was still worried about doing it justice with my colouring skills. Well I will say I am deliriously happy with how it has turned out.
I decided that it needed to be shared so I turned it into a twisted easel 21st birthday card - yes the addiction continues, and here it is.
The East Wind Aurora, AmyRStamps happy birthday.
Card Tip:
Don't be afraid to mix up your dies and stamps to create the end result, for the banner above I have used a die for the happy birthday, a die for the 2 and 1 and a stamp for the st.
