Digi Choosday - A Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone
Time once again for another fabulous challenge over at Digi Choosday.
Remember, very Tuesday when we launch a new challenge, you also get the opportunity to use a fabulous discount code on selected downloadable products. How cool is that?

So on to our new challenge.  
As usual our challenge is:
ANYTHING GOES
So, the world, as they say, is your oyster!

For my project this week I have made an envelope card.

I have used Ruby Gift which I have coloured with my Polychromo pencils.

I made the envelope card on my Silhouette Cameo.  It saves so much time with the cutting out.
I printed off one of the fabulous Distress Ink Papers (plain) to add to the card.
I love these papers because they are made to match up with the Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  Obviously the colours will vary depending on your printer but in essence, they won't be too far out and I love them.
I printed out a sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiment pack 1 on to the same Distress Ink Paper and added it to the inside of the card.

I then printed one of the other sentiments from the same pack to add to the main picture on the card.
I think I may have to get the other two Sentiment packs because there are sooooo many fabulous sentiments in them which probably cover virtually every occasion - even the ones we don't really want to think about.

I added a couple of small embellishments to the front of the envelope card too, I have had these in my stash for ages - I mean, don't we all?  Lol
I used some Pan Pastel to add some interest so that it didn't look too stark.


So I added some funky ribbon as a fastener for the card - neat eh?
It will actually stand up but it is a bit wobbly, lol.
I will add a Gift Token or £20 note to the inside as I really don't know what to buy the recipient for their birthday.
To be honest, as a kid, I always wanted money so I could buy what I wanted but it never seemed to work out that way! Lol.
