PIN IT FRIDAY FAVS: Birthday Cards

My new favorite birthday card on Pinterest:

Such a lovely card and it uses a set I already have but haven't stamped with until I saw this Pinterest pin! For my version, I printed up the background so I could make this card again in the future very quickly:

STAMPIN' UP SET: 

Simply Sketched

INK COLORS:

Chocolate Chip

Crumb Cake

COPIC MARKER COLORS:

YR00, YR02, YG03, YG09

The inside paper was a tad short, so I added the gingham ribbon at the top. Another happy little opportunity to create something even better!...and here are a few more birthday pins that caught my eye recently:

I'll keep that one and this one in mind if I need a birthday card in a hurry:
