Happy Birthday, Kelley! ODBD Surprise Blog Hop

Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

We are so excited today to be posting a special Birthday Wish to Our Daily Bread designs owner … Kelley Holland! This is a very special birthday for Kelley, as it’s the BIG 50!!! 

Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

For my Birthday Card to Kelley, I’m using the fabulous Path of Life set. I knew it would be wonderful paired with the always terrific ODBD Exclusive Window Die by Spellbinders.

 

 

The scene was colored with Copics and I attached the die cut window on top. I elevated it slightly to add some depth. For the background, I embossed some Williamsburg blue card stock I had in my stash with a Quickutz stripe label folder. I added a border embossed w/ a Cuttlebug border. The same border was used on the window sill piece. The flowers were made w/ hydrangea, small sun and small daisy punches. The punched tea cup was colored w/ Copics and added just because… Under the window I stamped the birthday greeting and added the curtains.

    Beautiful card for Kelley, she should have a very blessed day.

  3. Could hardly wait to see what you would create …. all roads lead home, just a great scene looking through this window, and I like that cuppa (would be coffee for me) in the corner. At 50 Kelly needs supplements for her energy LOL, couldn’t resist, she is still a baby.

  4. Lovely window card, so very pretty, these are such awesome cards, love the color and the scene you used!!!

    Julie – I can just imagine myself sitting by that window, having a cup of tea and looking out at the garden path. I’m already reminiscing about summer even tho we just entered fall! Summer is my favorite time of year and I always hate to see it end. Thanks for a beautiful reminder!
