Birthday Wishes

These Saturday mornings do come round real fast,  so it means it's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Kevin's turn to host and he would like to see 'Birthday Wishes'

I love this fun stamp and it's great for colouring, last time I used it I went quite pale with pastel colours.  So I went for brighter colours this time.  I decided to use my round the page punches, I'll be honest I've never used them before, and boy they took some working out to get them rightly lined up.  As for the ribbon it was off a Birthday cake and I would love to buy some as I think it is gorgeous.
