Happy birthday

DECEMBER 2016 BLOG HOP

I was inspired by the colors, washi tape, stripes, and stars.

 

The washi tape is bright pink and not as red as the photo appears above.

Stamps: PTI Botanical Blocks, Hero Arts Background Stripes (ancient wood stamp)
Dies: PTI Feather Finery, Tiny Tags, Linen Impression Plate
