Birthday Greetings

 The sentiment is from the Wetlands stamp set (126697)

 

Of course ending the week with a Birthday Greeting seems appropriate. The DSP, twine and cork flowers are from the recent Sale-a-Bration sale. I haven't used much of this paper, but do like it, but thought it would work well, with not only the DS145 sketch, but as a Birthday card.

 I paired the DSP (Sweet Sorbet) with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party and Whisper White. The strip of Crisp Cantaloupe was embossed with the Fancy Fan folder (127751). I used the 2 1/2" Circle Punch for the larger circle (120906). I used the Essentials paper piercing set (Circle- 126187) to pierce around the outer perimeter. The smaller circle is a non-SU product.

The banner was  punched with another FREE product from SAB. I added some Candy Dots (Subtles 130933) to the center of the flowers and added one to the banner. To tie things together I used the Framelits Envelope Liners (132172) to produce a matching envelope.

That's about it for today. Remember, if you would like to be in the drawing for the Blog Candy, all comments must be posted by 12 AM Pacific time on Saturday, April 5th. I will announce the winner on Monday, April 7th.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay CRAFTY!

Psst...

Here is the second card for my Birthday week. I used the MOJO339 sketch for the week and a slightly unusual color combo. 

I was anxious to put this stamp to paper. It is one of the images from the Happy Watercolor set and was just begging to be colored.

Using my Prismacolor pencils with OMS, I colored in the orchids and stems with colored pencils that matched fairly closely to SU colors.

I haven't used my pencils for over a year, and found that I was a little rusty and forgotten how relaxing coloring is. I'm seeing some other cards in the future using this technique.

Easter Blessings/Birthday Week

Good Morning! Today is the start of not only a new week, but my Birthday week. Friday, April 4th. is the day and no, I won't be revealing the year! Although, I'm not quite as "old as dirt", yet...

BUT, I will be giving a Gift Package to one of you this week in celebration of my birthday.  

All you will need to do, is leave a comment here on my blog. I will post the usual 3 projects through the week, with perhaps one extra. So if you leave 1 or more comments, you will have your name entered the number of  times you have commented. That's it!

I will post the winner on Monday, March 31st.
Okay, maybe I am as old as dirt or should have read this post more closely!
 Sorry for the wrong drawing date. 
It is - April 7th...

Now unto my first project of the week.

I just received the Blessed Easter(133212) stamp last Thursday and was anxious to use it. Not only because it is a beautiful stamp, but Easter is almost upon us and I need to make up at least 12 of these for family and friends. 

Yikes, I better get my mojo in gear!
