Platypus Happy Birthday

The current Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenge is all about Birthday Cards.

 

Only one problem ... no birthday stamps in my Honey Bee Stamps stash. 

I saw that the adorable Penny Platypus had a gift accessory, so that's what I went with.  When I searched for Platypus colors, I saw Perry the Platypus from Phineas & Ferb, and decided I liked the fun cartoon color hue.

 

 

I die cut Penny the Platypus Paper Piecing Honey Cut from teal & gold cardstock and added some inking to the tail.  I stamped & die cut the gift from the Penny the Platypus Stamp Set and added some Spectrum Noir coloring to the bow. 

The black & white paper is from the Honey Bee Stamps Farm Fresh Holiday Papers.

 

I flipped this week's Fab Friday Sketch for my Layout and finished with googly eyes, sticker sentiments, and some enamel dots.

Adorable! I've never seen a platypus die before and I think it's perfect for any occasion! Just switch out what he's holding! The sketch looks great flipped! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
