Happy Monday Friends!
I've been very busy lately, helping a friend who is having to reduce inventory and close her quaint little gift shop due to the death of her sister but I did take a little time this morning to create something new to share with you all.
I've had this topper laying on my work table for weeks so thought it was about time I used it. For the background colorful strip, I used a piece of scrap white card stock and added color by using the ink that was remaining in a couple of my sponge daubers used for my TH distress inks. The frame was created by die cutting the largest die from the Memory Box 'Wrapped Stitched Frames' die set (#30117).
A few yellow Nuvo Drops and a sentiment ... VIOLA! My card is ready to help celebrate someone's birthday. You can NEVER have enough birthday cards on hand! LOL
I do love a good sketch and there's a fun one available over on the Sketch Saturday blog so that's what I used for the basis of today's creation.
Here's a couple other challenges I'd like to share in ...
Daisy Chain Challenge #75 - No Design Paper
Day of the Month Card Club Challenge #52 - Happy Birthday to you Day
Colorful Options June Challenge - Peach
