Birthday invitations

Sage & I have been getting ready for her upcoming ninth birthday party.

This week, we worked on the birthday invitations and

some of the tags for the food table.

I thought I'd share the invitations with you today.

Sage found some African wooden skewers at a garage sale this summer, 

which prompted our theme. However, I thought it would still be fun 

to add a little glam (& pink!) to the theme...

For the background, I stamped Kelly Purkey's zebra stamp on some white cardstock. 

I was disappointed with the coverage, though, so I decided to heat emboss it with black embossing powder. This gives it a nice shiny texture!

I stamped the animals and part of the sentiment from PTI's It's a Jungle Out There,

"Birthday Party" is from Fresh Squeezed Stamps Life of the Party.

I'm linking these up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Animal Antics.

Thanks for looking!
