Happy Birthday!!!


Hello, I can't believe that it has been so long since I have posted! Life just got away from me and never got around to posting this card. I have a step-granddaughter that just turned thirteen. Well this is a little strange because it is my step-son's step daughter' birthday. But I still make her and her sister cards because after all they are part of the family now. They are very sweet girls and let's face it I just love to do things for people.

I have to give credit to a few people for this card because I took inspiration from a few different blogs to put this one together. I am sorry but I can't remember all of them but if you browse the PTI designer blogs which if you are like me you will know who's blogs I got these ideas from.

All products are Papertrey Ink.

I started out with a piece of Spring Moss CS for the base of my card. Then I embossed the white CS with Picnic Plaid impression plate and traced a few of the lines with copics to go with the colored CS that I used. I used the medium scallop die and used Hibiscus Burst, Spring Moss and Plum pudding for the side borders. The ribbon is Plum Pudding statin that I actually made one bow and the wrapped the satin ribbon around the CS and put the one bow in the middle before tying another bowaround it. and used a white Vintage button and twine around the whole thing. The semtiment is from Delightful Dahlia and is stamped with Hibiscus Burst and then I used the egg die to cut it out. I distressed the edges with Hibiscus Burst also and popped it up.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!!

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my projects.

I haven't been so good lately about getting around and seeing everyone's blogs but hope to remedy that very soon!

This is a wonderful card, Liz! I love how the purple ribbon ties it all together. Then again, purple and green is one of my favorite combinations. :)
