wishing you sunshine

Here is my simplified twist on Melissa's cute card for last Friday's challenge:

stamps:  papertrey ink

papers:  papertrey ink, stampin' up

dies:  papertrey ink

embellishments:  enamel dot - the stamp market

embossed vellum balloons

A festive birthday card with embossed vellum balloons . . .

stamps:  papertrey ink

papers:  american crafts, papertrey ink, stampin' up

dies:  papertrey ink

embellishments:  buttons- my stash

ice cream birthday card

A fun little birthday card I created with the hint of an old fashioned ice cream parlor:

stamps:  papertrey ink

papers:  american crafts, stampin' up, papertrey ink

dies:  papertrey ink

embellishments:  flower - prima; mini brad

flower bouquet card

 

I “stamped” diluted ink in each corner of the cardstock panel to create a subtle background for this card.  A white embossed sentiment on vellum adds a soft element to contrast the saturated colors of the bouquet.

stamps:  papertrey ink

papers:  papertrey ink, stampin’ up

dies:  papertrey ink

embellishments: sequin - avery elle

floral birthday card

 

I love flowers - and creating floral cards (I actually have red and white striped amaryllis in my yard)!  A smidge of glitter adds a hint of sparkle.
