Birthday Baking

After thinking I wouldn't have time to complete a second card..... I succeeded!  I just love this sentiment .... probably because I was born in October!!!!!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Sentimental Sundays - Happy Birthday + Doily + Lace + Pearl

I have used a left over piece of doily from another card.  This is a very large doily - as in one quarter of the doily almost covers the card!  I layered some pieces of doily over the top of each other to create more of a doily look to the card.  I have used three separate pieces on this card.

The image is from Delightful Inspirations From The Heart as is the sketch that I followed (rotated):

I coloured this lovely image with my copic markers E00, G94, G21, B32, V12, E71.  I used an old piece of lace from my stash - I think this one came from my Nana (who passed away in 1994!).  I also added a pearl to match the hat colour.  I used a circle patterned paper for matting - makes a change from the plain colours I usually use!!!  The circular sentiment that I have used comes from Bluebird Flats.
