OOPS!!

Well, I did have the birthday card made...I just didn't get time to post it!! This is the second card I had to make for a party Jessie went to...I actually really like the way the colour combo works...even though that wasn't the plan when I started.

I used Charlotte Ketto (one of my fav's!!) from stamping bella and coloured her in with copics. I used another scrap from my glitter stack (DCWV I think..) and added almost amethyst (SU) and a deep coral colour (core'dinations) for background layers. The sentiment comes from a CTMH set that I have (and almost never use...hmm too many birthday sentiments maybe...Nahhh!!). I added three oyster baubles for a little bling...this card was quick...10 minutes max...I think I like it better than the other one I made which definitely took longer!!

thanks for looking...boy bday card coming up next!!

Where does time go????

It's already Thursday and I haven't done anything this week...well other than laundry, some gardening, took the kids to the park (several parks actually), bought a hockey net for Jordan...who has decided that he is going to have a dual career in the NHL and NBA, bought birthday presents for the assorted parties this weekend, visited a friend (who has a garden that is amazing!!) had friends over for the day today...and...got one card done.

Hmmm, after reading all that, I did do a lot...just not much stamping :o(

So here is card number one, featuring Sollytude (one of the new releases from Stamping Bella). I used a piece of scrap I had left over and some SU amethyst and so saffron. I coloured in the image to match my papers. I used dazzling diamonds (SU) on the purple heart shaped balloon and I stamped the second ballon onto some so saffron and popped it up with dimensionals. The "Birthday Wishes" on the balloon is from a Papertrey set that I love as is the "celebrate" that is stamped along the bottom of the card. The ribbon is SU's so saffron and I added some oyster baubles (a little crooked) on either side of the image.

Stay tuned...the next birthday card will go up tomorrow!!
