Best Wishes Birthday Card

 Hello all. Just on here today to post a card that I created for the Flower Challenge blog. We were to use Scraps and of course, Flowers. 

For the Scraps, I used a sentiment I had put in my stash for another card but used it here. The sentiment is from MFT Happy Hummingbirds. The Pink background was another scrap using Lawn fawns, Water Color Wishes cut with MFT Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX. Having hung onto these scraps and many more, makes cards go together quickly.

The papers used are from SU: Melon Mambo and Polished Pink. I was happy that the colors matched my scrap from Lawn fawn. The Tulips and their leaves are from SU Flowering Tulips bundle. I do love tulips and love this stamp and die set. There are so many beautiful examples on Pinterest and I tried to make this one my own even though I had gotten inspiration from the many bloggers who posted theirs.

Have a wonderful Monday and a Blessed week!

Just stopping by to post a card I just finished up to add to my birthday stash. I've worked at making tulips from the SU Flowering Tulips stamp set with matching dies. I struggled a bit with getting them to look like I wanted to but finally decided on this one that is on the card. Honestly, I did a card recently using the stamps, with matching dies and like them better. I'll give the 3D tulips a few more tries and see if I like them as well. I am going to post this over at Seize the Birthday without using topping.

I am posting a card on my blog this afternoon which I will be linking over for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge of the week. I recently had gotten my SU order which included the Free 12/12 DSP, Daffodil Afternoon. I paired it with SU Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight CS. The flower die is from MFT Sensational Stitched Die-namics and the sentiment Happy Hummingbirds by MFT.

That will be it for this post today. I have several more cards that I want to work on. I hope you have a  blessed and CRAFTY weekend! Bernie B💙

Good Morning. I'm here this morning with a birthday card I created to share over at The Flower Challenge #58.  I tend to shy away from most flower cards or flower card challenges. I'm still working on my coloring and layering skills. I was fairly pleased with this image and hope I can keep building more confidence.

I chose the papers by SU DSP, Hand Penned, and their lovely stamp set, Hand-Penned Petals. I chose Pale Papaya for the second layer to add more color to the card. Pale Papaya, Mint Macaron, and Pool Party were used on the floral using the waterbrush technique.

That will be it for today. I'm off to go shopping with my daughter and grandsons and maybe some lunch. Have a great afternoon!

I'm here today posting a card I made to link over at the CAS C&S challenge. I wanted to use this cute little Bee from  Altenews Mini Die: Bee Kind. Although I considered several different colors to use with the Bee I decided on a black and white combination. 

I used Neenah Solar White#110 for the base, MFT Road Trippin paper 6x6 for the strips, and the sentiment is from MFT Happy Hummingbirds. The added color on the Bee was stamped with Tim Holtz Distress in, Scattered Straw. This bee was very user-friendly. It stamped well, lined up with the body and the die very easily.

That's it for this card. I plan on making a card using an MFT Stamp and Die-namic that I haven't used. Actually, I have several of those!

Have a wonderful day and stay well.

Blessings, Bernadette

Happy Birthday

Happy Saturday! I'm finally posting a card for two challenges today. It's been a struggle trying to get my mojo going, but I persevered. I created a very simple card but felt it was a good start, hopefully. 

My choice of stamps was from MFT's - Happy Hummingbirds with the matching dies. This stamp set has been sitting on my desk for over a month without being inked up.  I love the images and the sentiments in this set, so pretty. I followed the CAS Colours & Sketches color challenge for the week. I will be also posting this over to Seize the Birthday without the topping.

That is it for today. I do have another Birthday card to create before Wednesday so I'll need to work on that sooner than later.

Have a blessed weekend

Bernadette
