Floral Birthday

I'm not usually one for pastels, but this is a birthday card for my mother-in-law, so i thought I would go for it. The card base is 3 1/2"x5" and I used some cardstock from the Luxury Stack by DCWV. I wrapped it with some sheer purple ribbon. The flower is cut from Florals Embellished at 4." I used pop-dots to adhere the yellow and pink layers for some added dimension. I added some purple gems and cotton candy Stickles to the flower to bling it up. I stamped my senitment on some purple cardstock, using purple hydrangea ink by Tsukineko. The stamp is by Scrappy Moms Stamps. I trimmed it to fit and made the puple cardstock into a banner. I then used some pop-dots to create a wave in the banner and finished it off with some green pearls.

I made this card for the following challenges:

• 365 Cards: "Day 273" - pastel colors, minimum of four colors


• Cardabilities: sketch

Pretty in Pink

December is a month of birthdays for me. I have to make four birthday cards for people this month. This one is for one of my closest friends. The card is 5"x5." I used silver cardstock for the card base. I cut nine 1 1/2" square from some pink, black, white and grey patterned papers. The patterned papers are from a Christmas stack by DCWV. The bird is from Florals Embellished, cut at 2 1/2." I added some glam pink Stickles and some gems for some bling. The sentiment is My Pink Stamper. I stamped it on some pink cardstock, then double matted it with some black and white.

Flying Bird Thank You

Just a simple thank you card today. The card is 3 3/4"x9." I used white cardstock for the base, then cut some brown patterned paper 1/8" smaller. The flying bird is from Florals Embellished, cut at 3 1/4." I used the silhouette feature for it. The sentiment is a stamp, then cut with a scalloped square Nestabilities die. I also cut a larger one from the green cardstock. I finished it all off with some blue and green bling.
I made this card for the color challenge at Picture Perfect Creations. The colors were old olive, early espresso and marina mist. I also made this for the challenge at BBTB2, which was to use the flying bird from Florals Embellished.
