Here's my card for the Birthday Celebrations, I used some of our recently released stamp sets for it. As a surprise to Mudra owner, Varshitha, all of our designers are sharing happy birthday cards today :o)





1. I coloured and fussy cut one of the cute ostriches, and did the same for the balloon
2. To make the front panel, I first die cut it with Mama Elephant dies, and then coloured the background using Distress Inks. For additional interest, I spritzed the background with some water mixed with Ranger's Perfect Pearls
3. I put the panel together on top of a top folding card base, and then adhered the ostrich & the balloon (for additional dimension, the balloon is popped up on some foam tape)
4. I stamped the string, making sure that one part of it appears to be coming out of the ostrich's wing, and I also hand drew a little bit of the string around the end of the balloon, for a more realistic look
5. The "happy" part of my sentiment was stamped directly onto my card panel, and the "birthday" was stamped on a scrap piece of paper, fussy cut, and mounted on the front panel with some foam tape
6. To decorate the card, I used a shimmer pen on the balloon, and added a few embellishments made with Ranger Enamel Accents in complimentary colours

I hope you're enjoying our hop! Don't forget to leave me a comment if you want to be eligible for the prizes.

But wait, there's more! I am also giving away a prize! I will choose one random commenter from this blog post, and the winner will get the card featured in this post. Additionally, I have a small surprise prize that I will send to the winner - all you have to do to be eligible for it is to be a follower of my blog, it would also make me really happy if you could follow me on Instagram. I will announce my winner on Monday March 20th as well. The winner will have one week to get in touch with me in order to arrange the shipping of their prize - if no contact is established, I will choose another winner. 

Your next stop in the hop is the lovely Linda Langes. Here's a sneak peak of what you'll find on her blog:
