Hope and Happiest Birthday Wishes



I have been meaning to play along at CAS-ual Fridays #158 since it was posted, and only got a chance to make my card this weekend.


I used my lightest shade of pink to stamp the Hope Ribbon die in a pattern all over my card front.  I die cut 3 of these cute Memory Box Taylor Party Dress dies in darker shades of pink.  The challenge is to use 8 of something, and I embellished the center dress with 8 tiny rhinestones along the hem.



I think this is my first time playing along at MFT Color Challenge #55, and think it will be the first of many.  I really enjoy color challenges because I often have a hard time deciding what colors to use.


I used SSS One with Nature and some WPlus9 inks to make this masculine birthday card.  I will also enter this card at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.




Thanks for Visiting

  10. Your pink party dresses are so pretty, and I love how you stamped the ribbon on the background! Beautiful card, Joyce! I also love how you played with the color combo on the 2nd card! Masculine cards are so difficult (for me), and you really nailed it!

  17. Those pink party frocks have such great impact against the subtle ribbon stamping, Joyce ... especially with the one with the rhinestone hem! Cool, crisp and deliciously masculine trees ... perfect with the woodgrain texture! Hugs, Anita :)
