Hey Everyone!!
I have been so inspired with the color goodies over at CR84FN that I just had to make a card for this week’s challenge! And since it is one of my dearest friends’ birthdays on Thursday..I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone 😉
This week’s challenge was to use Kraft, Lavender and Light Pink..colors that my friend Jennie will absolutely love!
And with that inspiration..I created this:
I made my card base out of PTI’s Kraft CS along with their Lavender Moon CS and some scrap DP from my bin (Cream is House of 3 and Pink is Imaginisce, I believe). The butterfly and heart where made from my “Love Lives Here” die collection from PTI while the sentiment is from the dollar bin at Michaels 😉
And of course I just had to use some of my Prima pearls..I love these accents with the rosettes..so beautiful!
On the inside I stamped a sentiment from PTI using Plum Pudding ink that states, ” May your birthday be a joyful celebration of all that you are and all you dream to be” .. *sigh* .. just perfect!
And since I’m huge on packaging lately..I couldn’t give this card away without pretty-ing up the envelope! I glued down a paper doily, adhered a Prima rose and tied some PTI twine around before addressing it to the recipient!! So excited to give this to her!!
