Wishing you the best birthday ever

Just posting 2 cards today I created using the Freshly Made Sketches sketch.  I decide to make 2 birthday cards using the same sketch and the same DSP since I had it laying out on my desk. I will also be posting this over at Seize the Birthday.

Yearly I buy the new DSP from Linda Heller in 6x6 pieces and the 12x12 sheets of the In Colors from my local SU Demo. I use it throughout the year incorporating it into my cards. 

Today's cards I used the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP for the strip, and the In Color Bumble Bee and Powder Pink and an older SU EF for the background. Since the outlines on the flowers were Early Expresso, I used that to ink up my sentiment by Gina K.

 I'm off for today. I hope to play along with several other challenges, but not positive I'll be able to create anything tomorrow which seems to be a full day. Have a great remainder of the day and stay safe and well.

Blessings, Bernie Bee

Youth is a Gift

Hi all. I took some time this Sunday after church to create a card that I am going to post over on CAS Colours and Sketches. This was just a quick, no fuss Birthday card that I created for an old family friend who is turning 90 on August 8th. I'm sure he will get a chuckle from the sentiment.

The paper is from SU In Good Taste DSP. I struggled with it although I knew I wanted to keep it simple and masculine and thought this paper fit well. I used SU Basic Grey and a sentiment from an old set I've had for quite some time. ( company unknown) I inked that with Night of Navy and then reinked it with VeraMark so I could emboss it using Clear Embossing Powder by Gina K.

The front panel was cut with MFT Stitched Rectangle Die-namics, embossed with SU Subtle 3D folder, and the circles cut with SU Stitched Shapes.

That's about it for today. I'm hoping on getting a chance to put together some cards for friends or a least get them prepped. I pray for you have a blessed rest of the day and week. Stay safe and well.

Blessings,

Bernie B
