Birthday Wishes

Here's WPlus9's Milk & Cookies stamp set again - this is such a fun set to use!

I used Pure Poppy cardstock for the card base and added a layer of red pinstriped paper (a new paper from Amuse that comes in assorted colors).  I die-cut Lemon Tart cardstock at the top of the card using Card Edgers #1 (again) and die-cut the banner in the same pinstripe paper, stamping the sentiment on it. 

Using my stitched rectangles, I die-cut a rectangle in white and stamped two bottles on it.  I stamped the insides of the bottle with yellow ink because I wanted them to be lemonade bottles.  I added the straws in red ink.

On another piece of white paper, I stamped another bottle and straw, the banner on the straw, leaves and orange slices, colored with Copics.  I fussy cut them and adhered them to the card, placing the middle bottle and straw banner on foam tape for just a touch of dimension.

I wanted to add Bonnie's name and did so using my Block Alpha dies.  I tied Maraschino twine around the card and placed the entire image on top with more foam tape.  I added a gem to the leaves at the top and glitter to the inside of the bottles.
