Happy Bird-Day

Here's my card for the current challenge at Global Design Project.  I used the sketch for a birthday card featuring an image from the classic Paper Smooches Birthday Buddies stamp set.  It also fits the current Paper Smooches "anything goes" challenge theme. 

I colored the bird and the balloons from the Hullabaloo stamp set earlier this week as part of this month's Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge.  I found some coordinating patterned paper to go with the images and cut a circle in the center of the patterned panel.  It was adhered to a yellow card base using foam tape for dimension. Before positioning the panel on the cardfront, I placed a white panel on the cardfront to serve as a background for the bird image. The bird and balloons were placed inside the round opening using foam tape for dimension. I stamped the set's "happy bird-day" sentiment on a narrow yellow strip that matched the card base and adhered it at the bottom of the circle to complete the design.
