Happy Thursday! I am so glad it is a short week this week as it is my first week back to work after a two week vacation. I will post more about that over the weekend.
Today my card was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge this week. Check out these bright summer colors.
I usually like a lot of white space in my card design however I was drawn to use the Night of Navy as my background. The Night of Navy card stock was embossed with the new Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Folder. This provides a nice texture to the background.
The flower was stamped with the Flower Patch stamp set and Watermelon Wonder ink. This color is not too pink, not too red, like the three little bears story it is just perfect. The coordinating framelits make this set even more fun to use. I did stamp two flowers and fussy cut the second to add dimension to the flower. A Basic Rhinestone Jewel was the perfect finishing touch for the flower.
The sentiment is from Cottage Greetings and the banner was created with the new Banner Triple Punch, a MUST have from the new catty.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is also from Cottage Greetings and is the perfect touch to this birthday card.
I hope you will play along with this week's PPA challenge and link up your design. We love to see your creativity.
Thanks for stopping by.
