Party Birthday Card

Yeah! I accomplished a couple things with this birthday card. 

First, I finished all 7 days of Catch the Bug BugABoo challenges this week and this challenge was to use texture with optional freebie digi, Birthday Doodle Block. The digi is somewhat like illustrations my daughter does which I found cool & artsy. My texture is the candle, embossing & ribbon.

Second, I used all BugABoo digis for all 7 cards. 

Third, this is a birthday card for my hubby whose birthday is Feb 2 Groundhog's Day so I have his card made early.

Fourth, I used scraps.

Colored the BugABoo digi, Birthday Doodle Block, using my computer program. Changed all the black to blue. Used pops of color such as red for the cherry & yellow for candle flame & stars.
