Drat!!


How funny is this Drat saying from Art Impressions??  
It also didn't take me long to decide which stamp I wanted to pair it with.  
I think the look on Sylvia's face says it all!  
I colored her with Copic markers and used Spellbinders nestability dies 
to cut and matte her.  I punched a border with a Martha Stewart 
edger punch and then used the flowers near the top of the card.  
There are self adhesive pearls in the center of them.  
Inside it says Happy Birthday Anyways!
