Happy Thursday, everyone….we’re on the downhilll slide of the week! And brrr, it’s been a chilly one. I thought winter was over! My card today was inspired by my friend Shawn; she posted a picture on FB from Easter wearing this cute red and white polka-dotted dress….adorable! She’s adorable too! So this card is in honor of her, LOL! And around this time of the year, now that the retired lists are out, I find myself using sets and accessories that I know will soon be gone! So here we go with a bright, monochromatic birthday card:
I used the birthday sentiment from Delightful Dozen (I cannot for the life of me figure out why they’re retiring this one) and the cake from Make A Wish. I used papers from Polka Dot Parade; Stripes embossing folder; Silver Glimmer paper; the Scallop Border punch, Stitched Real Red ribbon and Dazzling Diamonds glitter….all of which are retiring! I used my Stamp-a-ma-Jig to position the sentiment along the left side of the panel, then stamped the cake, stamped it again on a scrap, cut it out and popped it up….rhinestones enhance the “flames”! Oh, and I added a little glimmer star for fun, too!
I didn’t have Cassidy last week because I was supposed to be on jury duty, so yesterday was actually the first day I watched her this week. My friend knitted a little Nemo for me to give her for Easter:
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteThe Nemo is great, too! I know Cassidy had so much fun with it! How sweet of your friend! XX
Great card! I love the way you layered the sentiment. Although there is lots of fun stuff going on, the fact that it's monochromatic keeps it clean. Looks like Nemo kept your floors clean, too!
