Hello everybody!! A card today for two challenges,
CR84FN and
Birthday Sundaes. Last week was the first week for the Birthday Sundaes challenge and I played along. To my delight the sweet gals of the design team picked my card as one of their "Super Sundaes"! Thanks ladies!!
Okay... on to my card. I used the gorgeous color combo provided by the super talented
Mona, creator of CR84FN, of garnet, chartruse and cream. Isn't the inspiration photo just yummy??? But it was also a bit difficult for me and I spent the last few days trying to figure out what direction I would take with this combo. Several stamps came to mind, but in the end I chose a stamp from Hero Arts called Long Stem Flowers. I colored the image with Copic markers, R59, R89, YG03 & YG93. I did run into another bit of trouble trying to figure out a layout for the card since the image is well... long! But I think I found something that worked in the end. I know it is hard to tell from the photo, but the cardstock really is cream colored! The theme this week at Birthday Sundaes is spring. My card is on the dramatic side, but I think it says spring...
Thanks for taking a peek... I hope you will take the time to check out both CR84FN and Birthday Sundaes!

The EtsyInspired shop this week is Dollbirdies, a place you can find all kinds of wonderful handmade fabric items like wristlets, camera bags and passport holders. My card is based on a beautiful wristlet done in grey and white. The layout is based on the current Waltzingmouse sketch. I have wanted to try making a card using a banner and this week's layout gave me that chance. The challenge at Sentimental Sundays was to make your sentiment the main focus of your card. Hopefully that was accomplished on this card! And the Birthday Sundaes challenge is "anything goes" just make sure you have a birthday related sentiment on your card. So... whew! That's alot for one little card! Stamps are from Waltzingmouse and Hero Arts. I used a little image from the WMS set Victorian Frippery to make the banner and an image from Very Vintage Labels 4. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
