Generally, I am so busy making cards that I almost forget to mail them. Okay so the real truth is, I am known for mailing them a little late. ~grin~
I started off the card with a vanilla base. For the next layer I used a gold piece of paper from the 12 days of Christmas pad by Graphic 45. Next layer is a piece of brown card stock. I took another piece of vanilla and embossed it with a Darice Plaid Background and took my gold ink pad and inked over the embossing.
I used a Spellbinders Large Scalloped Oval die to cut an oval from this embossed piece. I placed it over a piece of paper from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper.
I took a piece of scrap paper from my stash that would coordinate with my card and stamped the sunflowers image from the Just Rite Botanical Medallion and Banners stamp set. I colored them with markers and cut them out with a circle die. I took a piece of brown card stock and cut a scalloped circle to go under the image. I adhered all the card pieces together.
I used the Our Daily Bread Designs Pennant Swag 2 stamps and stamped the Happy Birthday in brown ink. I took the Our Daily Bread Pennant Swag Die, and cut the swags to attach to my card. I cut bows from the same die from gold paper and added to the swags.
For my finishing touch, I use Silver Rhinestones to decorate the corners and the bows.
Watch for our new challenge to be posted just after midnight tonight! There will be a beautiful picture posted for inspiration. Join us, won't you?
