This morning, after my walk in the drizzle with Riley, I created this card for a friend's birthday, belatedly. Her birthday was in Sept, when I was deep in the slump, so her gift was cardless.....little did I know until she told me that she has saved all the cards I've given to her. I felt so sad and complimented at the same time.
Since she'll be coming along with us to dinner tonight because it's her hubs birthday dinner, I am going to slide this card to her on the side.
Yes, it sentiment-less on the outside. There is so much going visually with the paper patterns, images and the bow, that there just wasn't a place for a sentiment. That's okay, there's a heartfelt message on the inside.
Supplies:
Stamps: Flight of Fancy from the Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collections (Michaels)
Ink: SU! Soft Suede, Memento Rhubarb Stalk, Desert Sand
Paper: Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Ivory, Lipstick Red
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Curio
Other: Nestabilities Petite Scallop Circle and Circle Dies, Square Punch (banner ends), Dauber, Ivory Satin ribbon, Dimensional foam
Have a wonderful weekend! We are starting with dinner with friends tonight, a couple soccer games on Sat and Sun, and closing with Burn the Floor Sunday night.
