Hello everyone! Here with a birthday card for a lovely bloggy friend, Anita. Her birthday was actually last month, but Bev though it would be nice to have a little linky party for her. I don't normally join in these birthday party links (for various and sundry reasons), but Anita is such a sweet bloggy friend that I just had to join in to wish her a very happy (but belated) birthday! So last night I got out my Copics (haven't used them in ages!) and colored up this image from the Taylored Expressions Stargazer Lily Bouquet set. After I finished coloring the image I trimmed it out. The layout for the card is based on the current CAS(E) this Sketch layout. For a bit of drama I decided to cut my banner from some black and white polka dot paper. The sentiment (from a different TE set) was stamped on a little tag die cut using the PTI Tiny Tags die. I adhered that and added the pink twine bow. Finished things off with some pink and clear sequins.
Thanks for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; PP: Echo Park; Stamps: Taylored Expressions; Dies: PTI Tiny Tags, My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags; Copic Markers; May Arts pink twine; Pretty Pink Posh clear and pink sequins
Beautiful! Love the flowers
ReplyDeleteRosemary, I'm so glad that you are celebrating along with us, as we wish Anita a really happy birthday! Your bouquet is gorgeous.
