Happy Birthday Mickey Card - Me & Mickey Blog Hop

Today several crafters are celebrating a birthday for our dear friend Rexann. She loves Mickey!

The hostess for the hop is Michele Green .  There you will find the complete line up.  If you have been doing the hop, you should have come from LaShavia's at The Crafty Pink Butterfly and your next stop is Kristen at My Fantabulous Life.  This card is a bit of a departure from my usual style but I had fun making it and cannot wait to share it with you!
I started by cutting layering this Mickey image from Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.  Mickey is sized at 4 inches.
Next I made my A2 card base.  The sentiment is from Pink By Design Birthday Birthday.  I love that set it has several font and themes of just Happy Birthday! It's a must have!  I tied a flat wrap bow to the side from orange grosgrain ribbon.
Here is a video on how to tie these ribbons.  They look very fancy but are super easy.

This is the link to the video, I add this link so that email subscribers can click to watch.  If you are viewing this on my blog, there is no need to click the link unless you want to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.
Finally I added Mickey.  This is my first time using this cartridge.  It was a bit of challenge to layer but I know that practice makes perfect.
Here are some close ups.
Now for the GIVEAWAY! Yes I have blog candy for one lucky reader.  It is a $25 Gift Certificate to Pink By Design.  I love thier stamps and use them on so many projects.  PBD generously provided the gift certificate and I thank Kyle and Sarah so much.  To enter:
1. Subscribe or Follow me here at 217 Creations
2. Leave a comment here telling me your favorite Disney character on this post
3. Once you have complete the hop, please visit the Pink By Design Blog and leave a comment saying 217 Creations sent you.
