Three in One

I need a lot of birthday cards in the months of June, July and August.  That is why almost every card that I make is a birthday card.  I was able to combine three challenges with this card.  It is stamped with a cute stamp that I have had, and have not used yet.  His is such a happy dog. 

The image is from Newton's Nook and it is called Delightful Doxies. Then sentiments are from Avery Elle, Thanks a Bunch.

The background is watercolors, using the colors from the JUGS challenge hosted by my talented friend Sharyn Polesel.  Turquoise, Lime green, Yellow, Orange and Bright Pink.  I snuck in the pink on his scarf. The grass is a die cut from MFT.  I also put glossy accent on the balloon. 



I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Monday Challenge: i scream for…
You are to be inspired by the letter I.  I think this dog is IMPRESSIVE.

Because I needed reminding and my friend did remind me that I can enter this in Seize the Birthday, I am doing that too.  Anything goes there this month, no toppings. see it here.

                                                             Here is my card.





 Thanks for stopping by, I love your comments and enjoy every one.  They are appreciated.

  1. Fun happy card. Love the colorful background and dog leaping for the balloon. I have tons of birthdays in August and September and first of October. I have been so busy making cards for them that I haven't even done challenges. Lucky if I do one a week. I am not complaining because the reason I started this hobby was to make special cards for special people. I did not even know there was such a thing as a challenge until I entered one at Gina K five years ago. I sure did learn a lot doing the sketches and color challenges. Have a great day.
