Good morning folks! Long time no see... I won't even bore you with my sob story of being busy- that's a poor excuse for not enjoying my craft more frequently. However, I DO have this card to show you and even a 2-page scrapbook layout I managed to complete this weekend which I'll share tomorrow.
Today's card is possible thanks to the lovely Stampin' Royalty Sketch shown below (click on the picture for a link to their blog post) as well as the Just Add Ink #41 challenge to do an "Out of the Box" card with a birthday theme. Well, this isn't exactly out of the box, but all the fussy cutting and layering is for me kind of.
Ooh, I just remembered another challenge that really got me started was Friday's Free For All challenge (F4A36) on Splitcoast to use stamped paper pieced images. For me that meant stamping these Fifth Avenue Floral flowers onto the retired Tea & Crumpets DSP that I recently purchased from SU's Clearance Rack. I textured the card base, which is Mellow Moss by the way (have you missed that color??), with the Lattice Textured Impressions embossing folder and the Big Shot.
The stems of leaves were super easy with the Two-Step Bird Punch. Popped on a few pearls and some white taffeta ribbon, embossed the sentiment and layered it on a pierced mat then called it quits.
Thanks for hanging out with me this morning! I truly enjoy reading all your comments, so thank you.
