Birthday Wishes for a Friend

Published by Shel9999 at 7:08 am under Cornish Heritage Farms, My Designs

Hi everyone! Here’s my other card from yesterday’s challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms. I have a very sweet blogging friend with a birthday very soon, so this card is for her.

Birthday Wishes

I inked the various parts of the flower using a corner of the ink pads, inking the lighter colors first. (I did not reink the stamp between impressions.) Blue gingham is stamped using CHF’s Ribbons set.

Hmmm….I think that’s about it. (Probably my shortest post ever. lol)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a terrific Tuesday!

Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms Silhouette Blooms I & II (Kim Hughes Collection), Ribbons Ink: Adirondack Pitch Black, Lake Mist, Lettuce and Aqua by Ranger Cardstock: Prism Spring Willow Light, Natural Smooth Patterned Paper: My Mind’s Eye Wild Asparagus Accessories: Piercing template/needle, white string, paper clip. Card size 5 ½” x 4 ¼”.

You’re right — your two cards couldn’t be more different, but I LOVE ‘em both! The halloween card is fantastic — love that silhouette image! The colors on this one are beautiful — love the springy design!

So very sweet and pretty, Michele. I absolutely love a soft blue and yellow color combo like this. I love your overcast stitching along the side and…well…just everything else!
