Happiest birthday wishes dsp strip card

 I've used a sketch I saw from Julie Salva for my card today.  I didn't do mine exactly like the sketch because crafty girls do what they want and a sketch is only an inspirational starting point.  I hope you like how this turned out.  I was quite pleased with the result, and I think anyone would be happy to receive a birthday card like this.  To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel to watch the replay.  You will find it by clicking this direct link.
