I made this card to celebrate the birthday of my sweet friend Kathy. She was the first demonstrator I really got to know personally and I absolutely LOVE her. We haven't let the fact that we are in different countries stop us from becoming close friends. I think she's amazing and super duper talented! I hope you have a wonderful day my friend! I wish I was there to celebrate with you! (If I didn't time this post correctly, it's Jason's fault since he helped me with the time conversion.)
I used a few challenges for my card, the sketch at Retro Sketches, the colors from The Paper Players, and the challenge of 3 b's from the brand new Black Tie Friday challenge. I have been struggling with my creativity lately but I hope Kathy will think it's the thought that counts. :)
Stamps: Summer Silhouettes, Papillon Potpourri, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Staz On Black, Basic Gray, Baja Breeze
Paper: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Neutrals DSP stack
Tools/Accessories: Basic Black satin ribbon (retired), Basic Pearls
Gorgeous card!
