Birthday "Count"down

I love how these DoodleFactory Costume Party characters from Starving Artistamps can be used for all sorts of occasions. Here, I made a child's birthday card, inspired by the Count character from Sesame Street and this week's arithmetic challenge from Three Clovers Thursday.

I stamped the Count image and colored it with Copic markers, then carefully cut it out. It's layered on a portion of a Ballet Blue circle that serves as a night sky background. The panel is attached to a light blue panel with a tone on tone polka dot stamped background.

A trio of foam number stickers counts out the birthday child's age--Count-style, of course! I added a happy birthday sentiment from the Fairy Tale sentiments set underneath the Count to complete the card. What a fun birthday card for a Sesame Street fan!
