But first, here's a little something from me about Jessica.....

Birthday Blessings to you, Jessica!! Jessica, a talented crafter, is a gal who loves purple (me too), has a great sense of humor, and, I suspect, has a whimsical side to her........

I found this cute poem online and wanted to share it with the blog hop guests today - 

To craft or not to craft, that is the question:
To layer, perchance to mat,
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to decoupage
or embellish,
To trim, perhaps to weep to wet the mulberry,
Spirelli or spin, or seal, or stick,
Or stamp and emboss,
aye there's always the rub (on transfer)
Or simply dust.

Apologies to WS (William Shakespeare)

Written by Gillyg

So, here is what I created in honor of her special day:

Super Jessica - a double-sided stand-up card with a birthday tag

Recipe

* A delightful digital stamp by Sherri Baldy (lots of fussy cutting here so she doesn't fall over) that I colored with watercolor pencils, added Stickles, and used my Stardust Gel Pen for highlights; please note that I enjoy crafting but am NOT a photographer.......LOL

*A tag die from Jaded Blossom that I faux stitched and added two shades of purple LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon for the tag's bow and two butterfly Spellbinder die cuts layered for dimension plus a Happy Birthday sticker from my stash

Hope you enjoyed my project.
