Birthday Tea

This is a card I made for a workshop next week — just can’t wait to demo all these fun new sets in the Occasions Mini — it’s truly a great mini if you haven’t seen it!!!  Plus all the sets are pre-cut — YES!!!!  This card uses a set called Live your Dream and new paper called Afternoon Tea, which coordinates with this set so perfectly!!! I love that — it’s that matchy, matchy thing going on in my head all the time — LOL!!!  Here it is:

Love this new paper and these colors!!!  And LOVE that tall, long stemmed flower!!!  I stamped the flowers right into my Groovy Guava pad and, of course, some Groovy Guava got on my stems, so I cleaned my stems with a baby wipe, then colored them with a Garden Green marker, and I also did the flower centers with a Chocolate Chip marker, just right over the Groovy Guava.  Such a pretty image!  The rest is pretty self-explanatory — stamped on the sentiment, stamped that delicate little butterfly on white, punched and adhered to a small square that has the corners clipped with the ticket corner punch.  A few ribbons, some mounting tape behind the main image and a nice fat Pop Dot behind the butterfly to elevate it above the main image, and we are done!!!  Fun card!!!

  • Stamps:  Live Your Dream, Sincere Salutation
  • Paper:  Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Afternoon Tea Designer Paper

Hope you all had a great day!!!  Busy here, so I was glad to get this one card done!  Not sure what tomorrow brings, but I have such a fun Stamp Simply Challenge planned for Friday — can’t wait!!!  Thanks much for stopping in!!!!
