I used Kristina's Color Challenge #51 and Laura's Sketch #25 from 2 Sketches 4 You to make a birthday card for a very special friend.
I'll never forget how many years ago she invited me to join her at a Friday night crop at the local scrapbooking store. I was just starting to scrapbook, but I was more fascinated with a lady who was making cards. I clearly remember the satisfaction of designing and creating my first card ... and since then, I've been hooked. I never imagined what an integral part of my life card-making would become ... and how much joy and satisfaction I would receive from the creative process. I am forever grateful.
The rose DP is from a collection called A Family Affair by Momenta. I added some swiss dot Cuttlebug embossing to my white circles ... the white flowers are adhesive felt from K&Company with adhesive mustard gems in the center. I finished with some brown wire antennae for my Hero Arts Heart Winged Butterfly and a sentiment from Heidi Grace with a favorite quote from Eleanor Roosevelt.
Speaking of quotes ... have you checked out the amazing projects the Caardvarks Crew created with quotes from Unity stamps? They really out did themselves this time.
Stunning Stef!
Thanks for playing:)
