Happy Birthday

Happy Thursday crafting friends.  My card for today combines two challenges, the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the color challenge at Just Us Girls.

ETA:  My card was winner at Just Us Girls:

 

The card base is Baha Breeze, then a layer of Crumb Cake (kraft), Marina Mist DSP from Beau Chateau DSP (retired).  The banner was hand cut from Crumb Cake and Baha Breeze DSP.  The sentiment is stamped in Marina Mist ink with Fancy Birthday(?) retired on Very Vanilla CS (it matches the paper perfectly but looks a little yellowish in the photo).  I die-cut it with SU Framelits Labels Collection and paper-pierced around the edges with the template from SU Festive Paper Piercing Pack. I mounted it with foam dimensionals on the hand cut Crumb Cake mat.  The flower is from Verve's Grateful Elegance and the single Plain Jane Elegant Flower. They are stamped in Basic Gray ink on Baha Breeze DSP.  I sponged Baha Breeze ink on the edges of the petals, made little slits between the petals and shaped the leaves with my fingers. I added a pearl to the center and mounted it with a dimensional.  The Crumb Cake leaves were punched with the Build A Bird punch.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn
