Pinwheels & Popsicles Birthday Fun!

Today's card is the one I made to fit the 10-Minute Thursday Creation challenge over at Flourishes.  It's part of their birthday celebration.  I also wanted to use one of the new stamp sets I won for being chosen one of the winners from the It's Sketchy - July Release Challenge.  I used the Pinwheels and Popsicles stamp set for today's card.  Actually, I won the entire July release and I can't even tell you how happy and excited I was.  Up until that time, the only Flourishes stamp set I owned.  Now I'm using the new sets and learning to color with Copic Markers.  I'm so happy!

So, without further rambling, here is the card I made for the 10-Minute Birthday Challenge.  I've been wanting to make an easel card for some time now and this was the perfect time.  Party lanterns and lots of pretty colors make for a very cheerful birthday card.

This was a fun card to make.  I'm still learning how to color and blend with my Copic Markers.  I'll just have to keep practicing.
