Blog Challenge #60 -- Happy Birthday!

The Challenge Group is not really celebrating.....it's a week for birthday cards!! And who doesn't love...and need them?!!

All day I've been hoping to get to my cards....I actually need to make 2: my youngest sister and my youngest brother both celebrate their birthdays this week. I just haven't gotten to making them.....guess I'm going to be late again! BUT, I did make this one earlier in the week and I think it will work in the meantime. Then, when I've made the others, I'll be sure to share!! (So, don't forget to come back and visit.)

This is a card I made for a very sweet lady who gave me her very last Convention swap, with just the promise of something in return. So, I sent her 2! I had one kit left over from the Shoebox Swap, which I quickly put together and came up with this one for her as well.

It doesn't really say "Happy Birthday" anywhere, but this stamp has a gift and is just so cute, don't you think?!! AND, it's in the new In Colors: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango. This isn't really a 2-layer card...the card base was stamped randomly with the image in the colors mentioned as shown. For the central image, I stamped in Baja Breeze and then again in the Tangerine. The gift was cut out and layered over the image....giving it a 2-toned look. Easy!! This was fun...and I love the cheerful look that was created.

Stamps: Deer Friends, Canvas

Inks: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango

CS: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango

Misc: Scallop Punch, 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" Round Punches, Dimensionals, Wide Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, White Gel Pen, Scallop Edge Punch

NOTE: The Old Olive Ribbon matches in this case since it is not directly on the Kiwi Kiss CS or ink.
