Birthday Wishes to You

 Hi and happy weekend,

Another birthday card for my stash. I made this card using two of the current challenges, the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, and the colors blue and green from Color Hues. I've used mostly pastel shades from Stampin' Up of Mint Macaroon and Pool Party. The stamp set is from Gina K Designs and is a Lisa Hetrick designed set. I love her floral drawings.

 

All of the stamped images are from the Choose Grace set except the sentiment. That is from the GKD stamp set called So Many Sentiments. The dies and embossing folder are all from GKD as well. Instead of coloring the vase, I decided to cut it from colored card stock and dry emboss it for added dimension, then used the same EF for the horizontal strip under the focal rectangle elements.

On the inside, I stamped the Bamboo along one side and added the sentiment to a flag die cut.

Have a relaxing weekend. Thanks for checking in,

Colleen
