Birthday for a Friend

I created this card for my friend Pat's Valentine's birthday!  I will also be sharing this over at Simon Says Monday challenge - Grunge it Up!

Pat and I Gelli printed together recently and I created this background.  I layered the print onto a black card base after grunging up the sides.  I stitched the cloth panel and adhered to the print.  I colored one of Tim Holtz's paper dolls with Distress markers and adhered to the card.

The heart was a piece I recently created in a class I taught at the The Paper Boutique in Springfield, Il.  The technique is from Stampendous using chipboard pieces, UTEE, and various colors of enamels from Stampendous.  The heart was stamped with a flourish image while still very warm and then adhered to the cloth panel.

Hope you had an awesome birthday, Pat!
