Happy Birthday - Dawn's Color Challenge

I wasn't going to create a card for Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #11, but I have some ribbon that had all the challenge colors, except for black, so I had to play along. I barely got K to his karate class on time because of my persistence to create and post this card.

Today I continued playing with my new QuicKutz Silhouette. I created my own SU! Top Note-type shape with a QuicKutz image. I used my paper piercer to pierce the border. I also love the "Birthday" welded word I downloaded from QuicKutz. I cut the image twice and glued it together to give it more weight.

Have a good one and thanks for stopping by!
