Well the weather has turned very wintery today, so I took that as an opportunity to snuggle up in my craft corner and make today's card. I purchased a few new craft goodies recently and I am excited to share them on this birthday card.
I went with a birthday theme today for a friend's December birthday. The colors in this week's Sunday Stamps were the perfect combination for this card. I'm not sure this photo is doing the colors justice, but the early espresso, soft green and powder pink are making for a simple, sweet card. I stamped the background in early espresso rather than add an extra layer of cardstock. New ink pads in powder pink and fresh fig helped to create the perfect sentiment and stamped flower underneath the silver button embellishment.
I would like to support the following challenges with this card:
