Happy Birthday


I used the color isolation technique taught at Make it Monday #245 to create this birthday card.





I am also linking this card up at Seize the Birthday: Floral and Simon Says Wednesday: Happy Birthday.

I am hitting the road tomorrow with my daughter to tour a few colleges.  I have some scheduled posts next week for DT stuff, but other than that, will probably be pretty scarce on line.  I'll be back to my usual blog visits by next weekend.

Thanks for Visiting

    Oh, this is so pretty, Joyce! I love the soft stamping in the background and how you stamped your focal point! Love the charming bird, too!
    When I saw this MIM video, I didn't 'get it', but I think I do, now...Thanks :)
    Safe travels, and I hope you and your DD find a great college for her!!!

    A+++ with this technique, Joyce (apparently I missed that video). The bright images contrasted with the grey: so striking! Hope the college travels went well...
