Hello! It is me again! Yes I am posting for a third time today and no my laundry is not getting done! But my husband actually asked me to make a card today. I gasped in amazement and then caught myself, "Sure honey...no problem", I responded nonchalantly as I raced down to my craft room to get started!!! Yippee!! The birthday card is for one of Corey's co-workers. She is turning 29 again (50!!) and they wanted a special, pretty card for her.
I was unsure of where to start! I am someone who loves to create "efficiently" so I went looking through my list of challenge sites and saw some wonderful inspiration for my card! The Colour Q has some pretty colours this week. I had already made a card with these colours this week and I loved them so much I made another!!! Then I noticed that the Stampin' Up Only Challenge was having a Birthday Card Challenge and there is a brand new challenge blog out there!!! It is called "A la Card Monkey". Their challenge this week is "Nature" and so I tailored my card to be "All About Nature". You should get over and try out these challenges this week!
So here is my card...what do you think? Okay...I am off to do laundry now!!!
Thank you for stopping by!
All supplies are Stampin' Up:
Stamps: Strength and Hope, Elements of Style and En Francais
Inks: Celery, Espresso, Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake
Paper: Same as above
Tools: Scissors, clear block D, Ribbon Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch, sponges
