Birthday Surprise - CK #89

Hi my friends.  Are you feeling as waterlogged as I am????  We're going through the Monsoon season here in H-Town.  You know the old nursery rhyme - Rain, rain go away!  But don't come back another day!  I bought a bunch of flowers a couple weeks ago but haven't been able to get them in the ground yet. Hopefully on Saturday when we'll get maybe a little break from the rain.

For now, here's my card for this week's challenge at Creative Knockouts. Our theme this week is to use Washi Tape on your card. To be honest I must say that I'm not much of a Washi Tape lover. I'd much rather use ribbons and lace, but I gave it a go. It didn't turn out too bad. The tape does give it a big pop of color.

Materials Used:

• Image - Sami Stamps - Birthday Surprise
• Sentiment - Stamping Up
• Cardstock - Xpress it Blending Card; Stampin Up Baja Breeze
• Ink - Stampin Up Marina Mist
• Designer Paper - My Mind's Eye - Hootenanny
• Accessories - Stampin Up - Marina Mist Ribbon; Petaloo Flowers; Crystal Effects; Stickles - Yellow; Washi Tape (various); SCS - SC402
• Copic Markers - B000, B00, B41, B52; E18, E29, E49; R20, R24; Y18, Y19, YR01, YR16, YR24
