For My Sister

I created this birthday card for my older sister who will be celebrating her birthday on Sunday.  I used the sketch from the current challenge at Sweet Sunday Sketch.

 

 I started with a blue square card base and added a piece of pastel blue dot patterned paper.  I cut a piece of pastel blue plaid patterned paper, backed it in blue card stock and added it down the side of the card.  I cut another strip out of the blue card stock, punched the bottom using an eyelet lace border punch and added a white satin ribbon across the top. I added that piece to the bottom of the card.  I colored the House Mouse image She Loves Me using Spectrum Noir pens and backed it in blue card stock. I made a bow out of the same white ribbon and added it to the bottom corner of the image. I stamped the birthday sentiment directly onto the plaid card stock and then finished off by adding 3 blue bubbles to the card's upper corner.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
