Birthday

Good Morning, fellow bloggers, and it's a dreary, rainy one around our area. We're getting some residual off Storm Andrea or so our weather people tell us.  This was a previously colored image that appeared in my pile last evening, and I decided I wanted to do a pink card! Once I got started on the search for papers I knew exactly to whom this card would go. I have a sis-in-law whose birthday is in August, and she loves pinks & mauves.

- think the stamp was probably an Inkadinkadoo; definitely colored with copics, die cut with a S/Binder Petite Oval. This had been stamped with several images on the paper, so I didn't have a wide choice of what die to use, as I had not left enough space between the stamped images. The petite oval fit perfectly. Used the appropriately sized petite scallop oval to die cut a mat.  The mat paper is the same as the trim on each side of the card, which was from an 8x8 K&Company stash pack.

- white embossed strips (C/B dot EF) were snippets. MS lacey punched strip under the focal image is the reverse of the pink side papers- as is the  lacey strip adhered to the inside of the card. I've said this before, but this is one of my favorite punches, and it's one of the first MS punches I ever bought.

- Elizabeth Craft sentiment (a snippet). I am getting a lot of mileage out of this die, and since it is a small die, it's great for these little leftover bits. I added a tiny green pearl over the 'i', after seeing this extra detail added to this card.

Noticed when I photographed the card, I need to add some more glue to a couple places on the trims, and trim off just a smidge at the very top of the card. Grrrr....it looked fine to me until I saw the photo! Does that happen to you? Well, I still like the card, and got my pink craving out of the way.

I'll close this post wishing that you have a happy day, doing something that gives you joy, and thanks for joining me. Come again when you can. Hugs
