Puzzle-loving Jay, whose birthday is on Valentine's Day, is having a big birthday and the Tea Potters are sending him some Big Happy Birthday Wishes. Jen (aka Jennifrann) challenged us to use a Valentine stamp on a birthday card. I got my inspiration from her as well with her adorable Valentine's peacock. Here's the link to her fun card: MMTPT707 Birthentine's Day by Jennifrann at Splitcoaststampers
I couldn't figure out how to incorporate a puzzle so I didn't try. I love this big MFT birthday die and I think it's great for guy's bdays. Naturally, I used red because that is his wife Anne's favorite color. I hope Jay likes red too -- I mean he's a Valentine's baby so he must, right. I wanted Hedgie to be gray, but he just didn't stand out enough so we dyed his hair brown for this photo shoot. I used the SSS stencil for the flame, fussy cut, glued and then drew a "wick" for the candle.
I hope all the cards coming Jay's way will make him special and celebrated on his special day. I hope each of you feel celebrated today as well. Hugs and TFL.

Fantastic Birthday card! Love the huge letters, the other large greeting letters, and the hedgehog is superb! Your color/shading is always spot on and the candle is excellent.
