Pink Birthday Wishes

Going through my emails today I came across a Challenge over at
Joan's Garden Challenge #7.  The Challenge had a few must haves in it:

Create a card with lots of layers
Colour theme should be Pink and White
Add some dimensional flowers
Use a rectangle and an oval layer

This is what I came up with.  Although the flowers show as purple they actually are more pink but photographed differently.

I'm sure either way the lucky person this Birthday Card is going to will not even know the difference.  

Happy Birthday!

Hope you enjoy!

More Scraps...

I cannot believe the amount of scraps that I have.  I have taken the time to go through all of them and separate them into size and useability.  No new cardstock has been cut since the new year (other than the occasional card base). 

Todays card is another birthday one, again for a co-worker.  Working with Whisper White for the card base the purples used were scraps that I had from my scrapbooking days.  I like the way the edges are distressed on a lot of cards, but I don't seem to be able to accomplish the same effect.  I think I did pretty good here, but in order to achieve this I used a pair of decorative edge scissors and then my Tim Holtz Distress Tool. Using My Friend and stamping on an incline on the paper to give a staggered effect.  Satin ribbon was used to tie a double bow and then accented it with a purple button and rhinestone.  Smaller rhinestones were used on the stamped backdrop.

Hope you enjoy!
