For my card, I’m using the new Birthday Blessings set. Isn’t this a wonderful tea cup full of flowers? I colored it w/ markers and added a little iridescent watercolor medium on top for a little sparkle. I used the out of the box Nestie technique to cut it out. The purple background was run through the Grand Calibur with an embossing folder. The ivory/yellow panel was stamped with pigment ink using one of my favorite past releases, Crocheted Background. A little strip of the Crochet Border from Serve the Lord was added under the olive green panel. A matching Crochet circle was stamped and die cut using the matching dies. I used the first part of the sentiment for my little tags and the complete sentiment from the set is on the inside. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Your card is lovely! I was particularly taken with your header which reminds me of Alfonse Mucha’s art deco style. Have you ever been to Prague? There is a Mucha Museum there, and there is also a stained glass window of his in the cathedral at the Prague castle.
Beautiful card–love the colors and the way you divided the sentiment on the two little tags. I’m somewhat new to stamping and cardmaking and little details such as this help me learn how to take my cards up a level! TFS!
What a really beautiful card and I just love your color choices.
thanks for sharing with us.
the blues and green on this card are eye popping appeal, and great coloring, matter of fact, adorable
Beautiful card! I love the colors!
