Balloon Emma Birthday Tent Card

Today my family went to a First Birthday party.  I scrambled last night to put a card together.  This is what I made.



I initially saw a Tent Card Cami, of Capture a Heart . . . Something Handmade From Me To You, made.  She entered her card in the Just Magnolia Challenge BlogThat's where you can find a  tutorial on how to make a Tent Card.  Click {HERE} for the tutorial.  Thanks Cami for the inspiration!  :)

The Balloon Emma stamp was given to me by my blogging friend Joni.  After coloring her with my copics, I realized that she's sitting.  Oh no!  I'm having Mommy Brain Syndrome!  That would look weird if I hung her and she's sitting in the air!  I tried to add some flowers to the background so that it would look as if Emma is sitting on a bed of flowers.  How corny is that!  Anyway, it's my first try at this . . . I need to try it again!  Hopefully, my Mommy Brain doesn't kick in again!

  4. What a beautiful tent card Mama! Initially I didn't notice that Emma was sitting until I finished reading your post. I think the idea to have her sitting on a bed of flowers is genius!

  6. Oh Mama, your tent card came out sooooo cute! I, too, didn't notice she's in a sitting position until you mentioned it. Love the DPs you used and all the flowers! It was so easy I'm planning on making more. Glad to hear your daughter is feeling and getting much better! Hugs, Cami

  7. Wowza! If this is just scrambling, I'm scared of you! Scrambling to me is stamping something and taping it to a piece of cs, lol! So cute!
