Happy Birthday Wishes

Yesterday, I decided to straighten up my stamp room a bit. I guess I got a little bit carried away because I didn't get a chance to stamp until late afternoon. This is the card I came up with, it's always nice to have a birthday card or two on hand...

I attempted a regular 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card but when I laid it all out, I didn't like it, so I cut it down to 4-1/4" x 4-1/4", as usual. The card base is Purely Pomegranate. I scalloped the right edge with the Corner Rounder punch and then punched holes with the Mat Pack and Paper Piercer. The other cardstock colors I used are Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black, and Whisper White. For the stamp set, I used Fun & Fast Notes (what a cute set, it makes such quick cards!). I stamped the image with Jet Black Staz On ink and used my Aquapainter to watercolor the image using the same colored ink as the cardstock I used. For some texture, I stamped the Groovy Guava cardstock with the Linen Background stamp inked up with Groovy Guava. I finshed the card off by using the Ticket Corner punch on the Whisper White and Basic Black layers. Then, I added 4 black Vintage Brads in each corner and tied a piece of Black Gingham Ribbon around the Groovy Guava layer.

Thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful day!!
