Pawfect Birthday Card

As part of the 10 Day Coloring Challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin, I colored up this sweet image of a girl and cat using Copic markers and Polychromos pencils. I haven't used this stamp set in awhile and haven't been doing much intensive coloring for several months, so I love joining challenges because they provide extra motivation to get things done!

After coloring the image, I decided to make a card for the newest MFT Sketch Challenge. I recently got this Happy Birthday background stamp so it was the perfect time to break it out of the packaging. Mini Distress Ink cubes are awesome for making a nice rainbow background, and then I added a sentiment and paw die cuts for finishing touches.
