I stamped something different, for once!

 

I had to make a birthday card for my mother last night.  I can’t remember what I sent her last year, so I figured I’d better make something “new”.  I saw a card on Pinterest and knew when I saw it that I would be CASEing (CopyAndShareEverything) it.  The original card can be seen on Chiaki’s blog.

Here is my version:

Mom likes green.  The colors used were Celery, Olive and Pear (the retired DSP is from the hostess 6x6 pad).  The white layer was stamped with my favorite Birthday greeting stamp in Olive and then run thru the Big Shot in the Dotted embossing folder.  Then I punched the heart out and attached a square of DSP behind it.  That was then attached to a piece of Olive cardstock, leaving a tiny 1/16” border and the Celery Taffeta ribbon was added.  Then that was mounted on a piece of Celery cardstock and finally adhered to the card which is Naturals White.  I like using that for my card bases as it has more backbone to it than Whisper White

I have to make another birthday card tonight.  I’m going to a party tomorrow.  The guest of honor recently turned 40 and we are all supposed to wear black to the party, so I’m thinking the card will be done in black.  Probably with red for accent, but I may go with turquoise.  We’ll see.  Thanks for stopping by!
