Happy Tuesday Friends . . .
Today's card focuses on the sentiment 'For Your SPECIAL Day'.
Now that could mean a lot of things ... my card happens to be for a birthday but I can think of many occasions that a card such as this would be fitting for.
It just so happens the challenge over on the

so that was today's inspiration.
Plus, I was able to use up a few bits & bobs that were laying around on my crafting table ... i.e. this Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks background panel that I created a few weeks back.
For my sentiment, I have used the Impression Obsession clear stamp set named 'Special' (MC661) and the coordinating Impression Obsession 'Special' die.

For the inside of my card I used a couple more bits & bobs.
The teal background panel was die cut using the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Rectangles

and the Poppystamps 'Musical Happy Birthday'.

What a fun and easy card to create since I had most of the work already done! LOL
This is a SPECIAL day for me because a life long friend is in town for a visit and we are meeting up with her & her sweet husband for dinner and chit chat! It will be wonderful to spend some time with them before they head back out on the open highway. Upon retirement they sold EVERYTHING and bought a beautiful (huge) motor home. And, they are traveling the countryside. So happy for them!!
