Sending Birthday Wishes

I was glad to be able to get up in my Craft area to put together a card for two challenges today. I'll be posting this over on CAS Colours and Sketches and The Flower Challenge.

This sketch will be one I will keep in my sketch folder. It came together quickly, and who doesn't like quick, and you can use a variety of images to surround the circle. I was going to use a larger flower, but this trio with a matching die is one I have not used from the Garden Treasure stamp set by Altenew.

I used SU Balmy Blue and So Saffron as the main colors. I embossed the BB with the SU Subtle Dienamics folder to give it some texture and the circle was cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment is from a long-retired SU stamp, Butterfly Basics. I colored the flowers using Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Peacock Feathers, and Mustard Seed. The leaves were colored using Altenew Frayed Leaf, Gina K's Fresh Asparagus, and some pearls to finish it off.

That is about it for today. I need to pick up my Walmart grocery order in a little bit and then have some super. I pray you enjoy a blessed Sunday and stay safe and well.

Blessings,

Bernie B

Have Yourselfie Birthday

Good afternoon! I'm in my craft area today finishing up a Birthday card that will be going either to one of my daughters or granddaughters. It certainly is very pink and girlie! I had a little difficult time with bright colors I'm just not much of a pink person, but I forged ahead and put my preferences aside.

I wanted to use some of the new SU DSP and picked this multi-colored stripe pattern from Flowers For Every Season and felt it definitely said, GIRL. I paired it with Magenta Madness and Bumblebee which are from the new in color papers by SU and coordinated with the striped paper. That adorable Lion is from the new MFT's release, Picture Perfect Party Animals, and also one of the sentiments from the same set. The coloring was done with my Prismacolor Pencils and the sentiment was stamped with Magenta Madness.

I'll be posting this over at Poetic Artistry Blogspot and Seize the Birthday.

That's about it for this afternoon. I hope you have a great rest of the evening and stay safe.

Blessings,

Bernie B
