belated birthday wishes...

Hey friends!!! Enjoying a beautiful Sunday here in the Pacific Northwest!  The sky is a beautiful blue and I can see Mt. Rainier and the Olympic mountains from my neighborhood!!!  Have a little card to share that I made for a few challenges:  Viva La Verve March - wk 1, Verve March Diva Inspiration - birthdays and Just us Girls - masculine.  I went with a masculine birthday card.


This was one of those cards that took entirely way too long to make.  Mostly because of me, lol!!  Sometimes I just get a little too wrapped up in making things look "right".  It didn't help that I took a sketch for a square card and turned it into one for a rectangular card.   That's where the "making it look right" came in, lol!   Anyway... finally got it finished.  I used the Verve set Little Packages and some patterned papers from the Teresa Collins Memorabilia 6x6 pad.  Lots of die cutting on this one... more die cutting than I have done in a while. 


Have a happy day...

Supplies:  Cardstock:  PTI kraft; Recollections white; PP:  Teresa Collins; Stamps:  Verve; Dies:  Verve, My Favorite Things and Spellbinders;  Inks:  Memento London Fog and Rich Cocoa; VersaFine Onyx Black

  2. Cute take on the challenge and sketch. I'm just up the coast from you in BC and we can see Mt. Baker. Simply amazing weather indeed :) Heck, I had to mow my lawn last weekend and the cherry and magnolia trees are blooming!
