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.
