The Corrosive Challenge: Birthday Card

Hello! Our challenge this week was to make a birthday card in honor of Janet's birthday. I used this week's sketch from SCS and an adorable Calendar Chick from Stampendous. Doesn't she just look like she's having a ball? I love that she's not shy about having her share of cake...that's my kind of girl!

The chick image is colored with pencils and accented with glitter. I used Martha Stewart's Crystal Fine Glitter on the bright pink icing; it has a very subtle shimmer and reminds me of granulated sugar. I used a bit of Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter on the party hat; it is super sparkley!

I just received my Spellbinders Big Scalloped Square dies in the mail, so I used them to cut the Melon Mambo layers. I like the looks of the larger scallops; what do you think?
