Happy Birthday,Mike!

Today is Michael Strong's birthday,

so Happy Birthday Mike!!

Hope you have a wonderfulday.

Of course I  had to make a card today 

with one of Mike's images.

On his blog he has a free digital image

of a pumkin and you can download this 

to your computer to use as you want HERE.

I printed the pumkin on white paper ready to color.

To color the pumpkin I used bistre powder.

I also used the same powder to make the background 

with the pumpkin. The leaves are a die from Tim Holtz

and the bird is a die from Michael Strong.

When you open the card, you see that the card is an 

easel card with a little post it notebook inside.

The sentiment you see on this card, I found on internet

and just typed it up with my computer in word

and printed it to use on this card:

October time is

PUMPKIN TIME

the nicest time of year,

when all the pumpkins

light their eyes

and grin from ear to ear.

I added a fun sentiment on the first page of the post-it book.

I used the left over paper from the front background to stamp

the letters fall with copper embossing powder.

Hope you are inspired to download the pumpkin image

and have fun with it!

Have a creative day!
