a birthday card...

 Hello!  Popping in with a card that I made for my great niece who turned one this past Sunday (February 5th.)  I used the colors from Color Hues for the card so I will be posting it there.   Take a look at what I made.   The door is almost closed on the current Seize the Birthday, but I will post it there, too.   I did want to say thank you to the Color Hues team for picking the card I entered in the last challenge for a shout out.


I used the Spellbinders alphabet stitching dies and a Spellbinders embossing folder for the background. I used more coral than sage green, but sometimes that is the way things work out right?  Honestly, I couldn't find any sage green cardstock so I just had to go with the sage green floss that I used for the stitching and then added little sage green sequins to the center of the flowers.   The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance design and was embossed in white on vellum.  




Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

This card is FABULOUS Rosemary and I hope it will be kept as a treasured memory for Ayla until she's old enough to appreciate it...it's a work of art! I think you used just the right amount of the challenge colors and everything pops on white! Lovely, lovely card and thanks so much for sharing with us at The Color Hues Challenge! Marcia (DT)
