Not a Christmas card lol

I needed a little break from my Christmas cards, so I made a birthday card {using some new verve stamps}.  My supply of birthday cards is low, almost non-existent right now, so this can go in the basket now.  I used the color challenge for my inspiration (riding hood red, baja breeze, taken with teal and whisper white).  I love this ribbon, I'm running low and I have it in 3 colors, I probably should go buy more just in case I can't find it when we move to Florida (perfect excuse to go to a craft store!).  

I stamped the image in Adirondack ink and then colored in the bird using Copic markers, on the party hat, I used my red Spica Glitter pen and went over the image, so now the hat is sparkly.  The baja breeze and white cardstock were cut and embossed using the Labels 1 die from Spellbinders and the card base is red riding hood card stock.  The little button is from Basic Grey.
