Happy Birthday You're a Treasure


Hello and welcome!

I wanted to make a fun entry for the MFT Card Superstar Design Challenge and this is what I came up with.  It's a birthday card for one of my grandkids.

I used the MFT Lip Balm die and plastic holder to hold 46 dimes, a real treasure!

I watercolored the background with Distress Inks first, then stamped, heat embossed and cut the images and colored them with Zigs.  I added them to the card along with the dime pocket, some with foam tape and others directly onto the card.  The fish are from Cat-titude and Mermazing sets, the rest are from Party like a Pirate and the birthday sentiment is from Up in the Air set.

Here's another view of my card laying down on the table:


Thanks so much for stopping by!

    That card is so cool and if he is like our kids were he will be putting them into the piggy bank for later use. I think our kids got fun out of seeing if they could get theirs completely filled.

    How creative! You certainly know how to pull together a theme. The pennies are truly a treasure! I love the beautiful coloring, and the addition of the fish underneath is genius.

    Thanks for joining us for our Cut it Up for our Birthday challenge!
