Happy birthday to my dear friend Mary Linn! My card today is done in blues because that is her favorite color. Sure hope she likes it!
This colorful & busy paper is from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack. The flowers on it reminded me of the flowers from the Swirly Bird Stamp Set & Framelits. Naturally I had to stamp a trio of those flowers in Pacific Point Ink & cut them out with the framelits to make a small bouquet alongside my sentiment. The leaves are also found in the set .
Using Old Olive Cardstock & the Swirly Bird Framelits, I cut a trio of leaves to go with my bouquet. The sentiment from Watercolor Wishes is stamped at an angle on a strip of Whisper White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
Look closely and you will spot the sprinkling of small Pearls that form the flowers centers & dot the i's of a few words on the sentiment. A trio of large Pearls help to ground my card.
I am finding the Swirly Bird bundle to be so useful. Guess you already know that based on the number of posts that I have created with the bundle. Although the paper is retiring, the bundle will be available in the new 2016 – 2017 Annual Catalog.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,
Ginger
STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES USED;
She will love this card! I know, I do! Such a bright and cheery card and oh my, my fun little swirls make wonderful flowers! All those little pearls dotting the I’s and the center of the flowers really add a special note! I love all that blue in that DP. Of course, the sentiment on the diagonal is just so fun – I gotta make some cards using this diagonal treatment. That black mat really makes the whole card pop. The whole card just makes me smile. Hope you had a great lunch with your friend. Safe travels….
My first look produced a smile on my face. I like everything about this card and I am sure MARY Linn will to. I even like the envelope liner. Very nice work.
Wow, beautiful card! The envelope liner is also a knockout!
Bright and beautiful! Perfect for Mary Linn!!! Love the split DSP look!
