Tulip birithday


 My MIL's birthday is coming up, and I was inspired to make this card for her by the Inspiration Station prompt photo this month, with pink flowers and a touch of yellow. The flower image is from Taylored Expressions, and it's colored with pencils. The "happy" die-cut is from Stamplorations, and the with-embossed "birthday" is from Smartworks.

The embossed panel is on foam tape -- not sure why it looks so flat on the lower right corner. Tricks of photography, I suppose.

This card is for these challenges:

Inspiration Station #84 -- inspired by flowers and colors in inspo photo

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- birthday

Die Cut Divas --Birthday 

The Paper FunDay #86 -- die cuts

Double Trouble #213 -- something anything (3 colors, 2 die-cuts, 1 image)

Word Art Wednesday #746  -- anything goes

Pammies Inky Pinkies #2614 -- anything goes

Pattie's Creations #241  -- use an image

  1. You MIL will love this card I'm sure. It is truly pretty and those Tulips are so nicely coloured. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds cards seem to change during photography. Thanks for sharing at Double Trouble.

What cat isn't quirky?

One of my favorite techniques is paper piecing, demonstrated here with this cute cat. I stamped the image on cream card stock, then again on...
