EDIT:
I made the card and had it sitting on my desk for a couple days. I just didn't like how the stamped image and sentiment were lost on the brown paper. So I changed it. :o) Here is the new card even if the challenge is over. :o)
It has been over a month since I posted on here but that doesn't mean I haven't been making cards. Christmas cards was the priority! Now that things have calmed down and I don't have to mass produce cards, I can play along with some challenges again! My Mommy's birthday is on January 8th so I decided to make one for her tonight. I went to some of my favorite blogs for inspiration:
Allsorts Challenge wants us to use brown and blue.
A la Card Monkey had a cute sketch challenge:
And here is my card:I simply layered solid and patterned paper. Used my lace edge punch on the blue layer.
The flower stamp in from Stampin Up! Happy Birthday is a hand me down random stamp. Both stamped in SU! Chocolate Chip ink.
Added cream colored lace and brown ribbon to finish it off.
Thanks for swinging by!

Very nice card, I love the elegant look. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteEspecially like the lace edge punch & actual lace. Saw that you were born in Canada. I've had the pleasure of visiting Canada: Niagara Falls, Vancouver & last yr Toronto. Where in Canada are you from?
