Happy Fall Birthday!

The new theme for the Cut It Up challenge is Birthday!  Don't forget your die cuts!!

This charming fall digi, Pumpkins and Butterflies, from our sponsor A Day for Daisies is the perfect image for my sister's birthday card.  She is a teacher and loves children's literature.  This image, which I chose to color with watercolor pencils, seemed just right for her.      

The cut is Fall Frame in the Cricut library.  Now, Fall Frame is actually from Holiday Cakes, but I thought it would make a beautiful frame around this Autumn scene!

I printed the digi out on watercolor paper using an inkjet printer.  I colored with a variety of different watercolor pencils and finished with painting.  

The frame was cut from stash papers and inked with sponges.  I used strips of foam to pop it off the image.  I mounted it all on a circular brown card base cut from Sentiments in the Cricut Library and added a few gems.

 This little darling is off to the following challenges:
