Happy Birthday!


A new challenge is up and running over at Colour Me...!  I thought I'd give it a try.  Here is my card...


It was a quiet day here in my house watching some football and making cards.  I'm glad I got out yesterday before the snow started again and enjoyed lunch with a friend.  Also, we saw the movie, "Saving Mr.  Banks".  A very good movie, which I highly recommend!  The snow is falling outside making a lovely wintery scene.  It is very pretty, but not fun to drive in.  We just had a snow storm a couple days ago, and we are due for 6-10 more inches of snow...whew!  And, frigid temps below zero...brrrr!  Anyways, I was thinking spring for this birthday card.  I want to look out my window and see flowers rather than snow!  Ok, enough of weather and onto my card.

I started my card with a white card base and added glittery paper and the lovely island indigo(SU) paper.  I paper pieced the vase with the same glittery paper.  The window die set is from Taylored Expressions.  The sentiment is from PTI.  It went together fairly easy.  I'm sure I could use this same card but use a different sentiment for many occasions.  Ok, that's all for now.  Hope you are having a great weekend!  Thanks so much for dropping by, hugs!

Supplies:

Paper:  SU, PTI, DCWV
Stamps:  SU-vase
               PTI-sentiment
Ink:  SU-Island Indigo
Dies:  Taylored Expressions

  1. Pretty card, Maria! We had 8 inches of snow on Friday but freezing rain today which made navigating difficult.

  3. Ooh, gorgeous indeed! I love the colors and also I like the window die has shutters. Your vase of flowers look so pretty inside.

    We may get a few flurries or a dusting to 1/2" of snow. Very cold temps starting tomorrow.
    Brrrrrr.....
    Stay warm and safe.

  18. Sounds like you've got loads of snow! Ours just melted before this frigid air mass hit overnight. It was FIVE degrees as I took my kids to school this morning!! That's not even including wind chill. Crazy.

    What's not crazy: you printing a sentiment on that window box! Love the idea! Going to have to steal that. ;) Hugs!
