Image was stamped onto white card stock, coloured using a combination of copics and prismacolor pencils smudged with mineral spirits. The dark brown mat is actually foam mounted onto the image to give it depth, with some gold doodling around the edges to soften the edges. The callouts were computer generated and printed out onto white card stock and then mounted onto the frame. The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped onto matt cream cardstock, mat brown card stock was threaded through holes that I had created using a slot punch, both the faux ribbon and the sentiment were also doodled to help bring the whole image together.

Oh my gosh, I love this. What good ideas you demonstrated....using Copics and Prismacolor pencils together, the foam layer for dimension. Most importantly, your card made me smile; the true test of a great card. TFS.
