Another Belated Birthday

Hello and welcome back! My consistent (unplanned) theme this year has been that I haven't been sending cards - oops! I spent some time this weekend making a plan to catch up everything and everyone that I've missed. Here is my first "catch-up" card.

Obviously, if I'm going to be playing catch-up, the cards will have to be simple. Fortunately, the challenge this week at The Paper Players is perfect.

The new In Color, Tahitian Tide, is one of my favorites! It's very similar to Tempting Turquoise, which was the first cardstock I ever purchased an entire pack of! I pulled out some old Petal Passion DSP since it has sketchwork on it, and just colored in one bunch of flowers with my Stampin' Blend marker. I added Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers for some bling, along with the metallic ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Ornate Belated Birthday

Hello and welcome back! I was cleaning out my email inbox today when I realized that I had forgotten a birthday card for the retiring director of our church preschool. So, time to make a card!

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at SUO Challenges. Sketches are based on the samples on page 94 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. Everyone else chose the sketch on the left, so I took the one on the right! 

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
