Birthday wishes ...

Happy Day All ... and,

Happy Orthodox Easter to all those who are celebrating today!

I have a pretty card to share that is created in my all time favorite color ... purple!

I love sparking my mojo with a sketch and I couldn't wait to join

in on the April sketch challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas.

I recently purchased a paper pack from the Dies R Us Store by Pink & Main called 'Frosty'.  I wanted this paper pack because I could see there were a few sheets that were purple and some cool patterns too!

The die cuts I've used for my creation are:
Sue Wilson Australian Collection


Cheery Lynn Designs 'Leafy Flourish'


Poppystamps ' Musical Happy Birthday'

Though difficult to see, there is a double panel of purple grosgrain ribbon behind my main focus oval to follow the sketch pattern.  After die cutting my flourish, I cut the flowers again from the scraps left over from my oval and glued them on to just a touch of coordinating color.  Nuvo Daffodil Yellow crystal drops was used for the centers.

The sentiment die was die cut from scraps of white card stock several times and glued together for added dimension.  Nuvo White crystal drops was used as my pearls in the corners.

Challenges to share in:

As Always . . .
