Misty's Birthday Card

My best friend of 26 years (YIKES) is having a birthday on Saturday. She has finally caught up with me! =) She sent me a text message today thanking me for the card, so I know that it's safe to post this now. She LOVES Marilyn Monroe so I decided that's what I'd use for my inspiration for her card. I specifically looked online for a black and white pic of her and found one quickly that I really liked! Now, here's a little secret - the picture printed fine but when I was cutting it out, there was a small bit of white left at the top..as I was trying to trim it with my paper cutter, the paper started to rip. I was upset but was able to compose myself enough to step back and look at it. I decided that I'd just run with it and distressed the whole thing! I thought that it gave it more of a vintage look this way, anyway, which was kind of what I was going for. It's on red cardstock that I stamped with Versamark, which has become one of my favorite products. HAPPY 31st, MISTY!!! XOXOXO
