Happy Birthday!

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I am participating in the weekly Color Throwdown  Challenge.  I love this challenge because it always a fun challenge to see what you come up with.  This is CDT397.

 

Challenge information can be found here:  http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/

 

 

Here is the color pallet to work with this week.

 

 

I am always in need of Birthday cards, so I decided to take out my Happy Birthday sentiment from So Suzy Stamps.   I first embossed my stamp with Alabaster from Brutus Monroe.  I then took out my Gansai Tambi watercolors and painted green over my sentiment.  I then took brown and yellow and flicked random places. 

 

I topped it off with some green, brown and yellow sequins.

 

 



Heartfelt Creations Botanic Orchid

 

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by

 

I am so very behind on sharing creations I have made, but this Happy Birthday card made with the Botanic Orchid collection from Heartfelt Creations is stunning.. if I don't say so myself.  This is a brand new release from Heartfelt and I love to purchase mine from Create and Craft.. They always release about a week early and I love to have my hands on it ASAP.. 

 

For this card, the size is 5.5 x 5.5.  I used green cardstock for my orchids.  In the stores you see so many different color orchids, I figured why not.. Since the card was for someone who loves green.  I used Green Momento ink to stamp and then once shaped (make sure to watch Heartfelt Creations newest video on shaping the orchids) I used it on the edges a bit for some added definition.  I also added in a bit of pink .. just because the rest of my card was pink.  I also added some shimmer mist, but the photo does not pick that up.

 

The corner die is from Heartfelt Creations as well.  I used some brilliance pink to add some random highlighting.  The background paper is from the Orchid paper pack.. I then took some Lindy's Stamp Gang mist and flicked.  I then curled up the edges and tore some places to make it look not perfect. 

 

Happy Birthday is from Cas-ual Fridays.  This die was a part of a Stamp of Approval collection from Catherine Pooler.   To finish off the card, I placed a few pink dew drops for that finished look.

 

I am in love with the card.. In person it is stunning.   Thank you Heartfelt Creations for another stunning flower.  I will be trying the daffodil as well.. that will come from this very same collection.

 

Happy Crafting!
