Axolotl Big Birthday Wishes

Happy 7th birthday to my kind, sweet, funny, axolotl-loving granddaughter, Raeana - AKA RaeRae - the one who made me a Grammy! This kid is amazing, when she sets her mind to something she follows through with determination and commitment. She makes me so proud of her for so many reasons. When she was opening her gifts last weekend, she opened this card and said "I know this is from Grammy, because she makes the BEST cards!". I had no idea she appreciated my artwork so much and it just made my day! :)

I'd like to enter RaeRae's birthday card into the following challenges:

Double D - Birthdays (Happy 10 Years to Double D!!!!)

Addicted to Stamps #508 - Birthdays

Time Out #304 - All That Glitters

Cut it Up #347 - Favorite Dies (this deckled edge circle die is one of my favorite nesting dies!)

Moving Along with the Times #185 - Use Stencils and/or Dies

I had so much fun getting super inky with this card!  I used Picked Raspberry and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks for the background. I used a polka dot stencil on the deckled edge circle die and added some Mica Spray Stain to the die cut "7". I printed out this adorable axolotl from the Crafty Bels shop, colored with Copics and Stickles, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I outlined both sets of sunglasses with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Sentiment is a dig from Polkadoodles. I had the perfect heart sunglasses die cut from Scrapbook.com in my stash, then I finished off with some rhinestone brads in the corners. Peace.
