happy bday & alice, strange little girl

 Good morning! I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Seize the Birthday - No Topping

AllSorts #831 - Anything Goes/Optional Birthdays

Color Dare #666

I used the ink smooshing technique with Distress Oxide inks in Scattered Straw, Ripe Persimmon, and Uncharted Mariner. I die cut the happy bday and the balloon, attaching with foam dimensional tape. 

................................

Next I have a card for the following challenges:

Retro Rubber #262

Try it on Tuesday - It's all About Children

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Stamptember (no digis)

Dream Valley - 2 or More Papers

I stamped Alice from The Greeting Farm's Signature rubber stamp set (this one is from around 2008/2009) on Kraft cardstock with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and sponged the edges with black ink, then matted on a piece of DP. Papers are from Echo Park - sentiment stickers are from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.
