I am working to build up a stash of birthday cards--it seems like I can never have enough. I made a birthday card to enter this week's CR84FN44 color challenge. The colors this week are Coral, Light Pink and Aqua. This color scheme is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I decided to give it a go anyway.
I used Aqua Mist and Berry Sorbet paper by PTI and some light pink ribbon from SU. I also used Versa Magic Aquatic Splash ink to stamp a sheet music pattern behind the Quatrefoil die cut. I stamped my sentiment (from Verve Big Birthday) in Slate ink by Amuse--I think it worked better than black with the soft colors of the card.
I used a design based on this card, which was originally cased from this card.
Thanks for Visiting
Gorgeous card. I do love the stamping of the music behind the quatrefoil. I need to get that die. I held off on it. The flower & ribbon complement each other nicely.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a stash of birthday cards on hand, but then again, I usually make a card based on the person I am sending it to. I need to make one for my neice's birthday on the 17th.
This is so pretty Joyce. I love the music stamped behind the die. The flower is also perfect of the color challenge, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Joyce! This card is beautiful! Love the fancy ornate background and that 3D flower is stunning! Thanks for joining along with CR84FN :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card with the color challenge. Super pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely birthday card, Joyce! Love your layered flower and the background is wonderful! Thanks for playing along with CR84FN!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! I love this card, Joyce-- it's so pretty! The Quatrefoil die paired with the bloom builders #3 is perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a classy little number this is. I love the colors as you have used them in particular. That bloom is practically popping off the page. The sheet music behind the die cut is special too. I love the fact that you have gone with half the QF die only. It looks so appealing this way. Marvellous birthday card! Mighty fine, indeed.
ReplyDeleteLook at all of this! This is so smart, the very first time I have seen the quatrefoil die used on just one half of the card! You were so creative to think of that and you made a Bloom Builder flower too! Just a beautiful card. Love it!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card! Love the music behind the die cut!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful birthday card, I love the Aqua Mist Quatrefoil with the Berry Sorbet. You have a keen eye for colour Joyce.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the commentators.Beautiful card. Love the music stamping behind the quatrefoil and that flower is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletemmm these colours are not my thing either but you've wowed me with this card Joyce :)

Wow - this is just gorgeous! I think the music stamped behind the trellis is fabulous, and I love the big flower. So pretty! Thanks for playing along with CR84FN!
ReplyDeleteJoyce! This is STUNNING! Thanks so much for playing along with CR84FN!
ReplyDeleteAmazing card! Perfect take on the color challenge-Gotta get the quatrefoile cover plate...
ReplyDeleteI just found you this morning and of course, had to peruse a number of your posts. I stopped in my tracks when I saw this birthday card. Love having a stash also. The music behind the cut out is awesome. Love the entire card. Thanks. Am thinking about doing my own blog, but just can't seem to find the drive to do so. I think it would be fun entering challenges, but am seriously honest that my cards don't match the level I see on yours and others blogs.
