First off, a card for the Color Throwdown Challenge. I’m really getting this in under the wire. I made the card last night, but haven’t had time to write a post until now. The challenge closes in a hour! Talk about cutting it close. Love the colors for this challenge:
I pulled out an old, old embossed card by Lasting Impressions and added a vase of flowers and a banner sentiment to make a birthday card.
I used some “Simple Stems” and a “Vogue Vase” by Papertrey Ink to pull together the focal point. All the stamped images were an earlier part of my #100DayProject. The sentiment was embossed in white on a vellum banner cut with a Spellbinders die and attached to the card with liquid glue under the two pearls at the ends of the banner. I left the middle of the banner slightly curved.
The Lasting Impressions card came with a lovely red envelope, which worked out perfectly.
It’s also my birthday which we celebrated yesterday with a Mother’s Day brunch. Today has been really busy, but it’s a lovely spring day, and I’ve received many birthday greetings in the mail, on email and via texts. I’m a very lucky lady.
This is the first birthday that’s ever given me pause. This card from a blogging friend might explain it.
But truthfully, I’m very grateful to have had 70 fabulous years, and hope to see many, many more.
Love the polka dot frame for this sweet vase of flowers! So happy you joined us at CTD!
Such a beautiful way to use the colors! Thanks so much for joining us at the Color Throwdown this week!
A beautiful collection of cards given to you. The one you made is so nice – you must have a huge collection of dies & stamps – how do you store & catalogue.
Beautiful card you made!
Glad to hear you had a special day. I thought of you. Wondered long and hard about sending a card showing your age as I know not everybody likes them, but I liked the sentiment of the one I chose and thought it apt. Hope AOK.
