mojo monday/mojo467-happy birthday

Welcoem to my take on the mojo monday sketch, I was inspired by the adorable photo from the fusion challenge...I luv the fusion challenges! The picture is sooo fun and that is what I wanted to portray in my card; gold, ink splatter, and embossing paste! I also used b&w stripped washi tape. The birthday sentiment is from the Verve set treasured words. Be sure to check out the mojo makers cards, they are always inspiring!

I added falling snow using the simon says stamp snow falling embossing folder and wendy vecchi embossing paste...my favorite to work with! The sentiment is from the christmas stamp set called merry everything. I think he turned out so cute; his collar is glittery, I used the glitter paper to die cut the collar.
