Your Age?

If you enjoy posting and/or chatting on Facebook or other social media platforms, chances are you have made several good friends online that you may never have the opportunity to meet in person.   Yet you enjoy their humor or their stories or maybe the things they share throughout their postings.  Whatever the reasoning, you would consider them a friend.

I have to say that I feel very blessed to have multiple friends that meet those guidelines and I'm very grateful that they are part of my life in some way. 

Today is one of those lady's birthday. Karle' is one who definitely has a huge sense of humor and has had me rolling with laughter many days when I was really down in the past. 

Being MUCH younger than I am I thought a birthday card about her maturing age might be cute for this year.   I've selected one of the Spring Chickens from Beccy's Place ~ one of my favorite packages. 

This digital package comes with three spring chickens and several very appropriate sentiments.  After sizing the chicken that I wanted to use, I layered the sentiment close to her so the total size of the image would be about 3" x 4".

I printed the image on Neenah 110# card stock and colored the chicken with my Copic markers.  I used the Pink and Main Cloudy Frame for the red polka dotted frame.   

The green card base is a standard A2 size, with the patterned paper matting added.  Then I secured the frame and completed image in the center.  Not a posting goes by that Karle' doesn't comment on the size of my bows on my cards.  The bigger the better in her opinion!  So of course the finishing touch on her card was a big taupe organza bow at the top fold.

Happy "21st" Birthday AGAIN, Karle'!!!  Hope you have an amazing day!
