Birthday Cake

It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.
The challenge this time is: Birthdays
And here is my card for your inspiration:
I've had this tag made out of scrap paper strips for quite a while.  So, I printed my image out in a size that would fit the tag and colored it to match the patterns.  I actually had a second pack of the same papers, so even though the first pack was all used up making the tag, I was able to pull out some to match to create the horizontal strip and the little banners.  I stamped the background with a sheet music stamp as it seemed to fit the birthday theme.  Everything seemed a little plain still, so I die cut the filigree border and the fun little frame.  It is amazing how much the frame dressed everything up!  I finished up the tag with a jeweled brad that I have had for years and years.  As well as the tag, the frame and border were die cut from snippets, so a lot of scraps were used up on this one!
I hope you will get a chance to play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.  And make sure you hop over to the Di's Digital Designs blog to see what the rest of the team has made for this challenge.

Supplies: 
Stams: Di's Digi Stamps "Birthday Cake Teddy" digi; PaperTrey Ink "Baker's Dozen" frame and sentiment; Hero Arts sheet music background
Dies: PaperTrey Ink "Baker's Dozen" and "Filigree Border" die; MFT "Blueprints 13" tag

I love those moments when you look at a card, feel it's missing a little something, add your 'little something' and BAM! It's gorgeous! Love your creation! From the paper, stamping, adorable image and colours, to the frame and filigree strip. Just lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us at Penny's!
