This card is for my Uncle Neil. He is a retired Fire Chief and worked for Carson and Barns Circus. He has been going through several health issues and really could use some cheering up. He also spent his birthday in the hospital which was just this past week.
I printed this cute image from Paper Shelter and colored with copics. I did the out of the box cutting and popped it on dimensionals.
For the fire BG I embossed with the flame emboss folder then used red, yellow, orange and black to color blend the BG with the darker colors at the bottom. Then I added stickles to the flames.
I finished with this tag and some bakers twine.
Thank you for stopping by for a look at my card. I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards. Thank you for looking!

Wow! Your coloring on this cute fireman is perfection. Love the hombre flames. It’s the perfect ef for this card.
I’m so sorry your Uncle is unwell. Being in the hospital any time is difficult, but I imagine it’s worse when it’s your birthday. Hope the cards give him a smile and some cheer. Hugs to you and your family.

I remember seeing you use the embossing folder before - it's fantastic. So is your colouring of that cute image. A birthday in hospital is never fun - I had one of those once.
