Wow, it has seemed like a long time since I have posted anything or even made a card. The holidays were busy and those of you that know me also know of some other issues that made time to craft difficult. Then there was are annual trip to Florida for the winter. But we are here now, and I have set up my new craft room and I am working again.
I am entering this card is these challenges.
Double D Challenge - Anniversary Celebration Here
Simon Says Monday - Fresh start, use something new Here
Simon Says Wednesday - Anything Goes Here
This is the inspiration board for the Double D Challenge.
Here is my card.
What do you do, when you do not have the right color card stock? Use your inks! This is a white card base and a white layer. I used GKD ink in Peach Bellini and inked around the edges. I also inked up the embossing folder with the fireworks and embossed that. I fussy cut the birthday cake from the Power Poppy Stamp, called Party Time. The first time I have used that. After adding the sentiment from the same stamp set, I put some stars in the correct places. These are also the first time using them.
Well, now I feel better. Got a card made and posted and now I can enjoy the sunny Florida day.
Thanks so much for brightening my day with your comments.
OMG this is just awesome Barb! BEAUTIFUL! What a clever design and your colors came together beautifully! So glad you came to join our celebration!
