Little bear's birthday card...





What were my thoughts when I saw the above photo at Inspiration Station--birthday and candles. I really didn't have anything with candles and since  every so often I like to buy digital images when they are on "sale,"  I bought this cute  Lili of the the Valley digi stamp off ETSY.   They are having a 70% sale, so the image only cost 93 cent.     I fell in love with it and a couple of others (to be used one day).  My intention was to make a child's birthday card for an adult to give.  But the longer I looked at it, there seemed to be something that just wasn't quite right, finally. it dawned on me--too many candles,   and I was thinking of a 5 or 6 year old.   So I changed the plan and decided to make a card that a kid could give their papa.   Papa's love to get cards from the grand kiddo's (I guess since I don't have grandkids.)     I also found a place to download free fonts (not google) so I got this one called dark crayon and printed it in the blue ink in a label program.   As it turns out "little bear" also talked his mom into letting him run the panel through her embosser since papa would like it better that way!  If you are interested, there's still time for you to create a card and link it over at Inspiration Station.     Thanks for stopping in,    Smiles,   Kathy
