PDCC #88-Happy Birthday!

Photo inspiration with colors of Redish/orange, yucky yellow, and juniper!

Hi All!

How's it going?  Hope your weekend is going well!  What a challenge over at The Play Date Cafe this week!  Those colors were quite the challenge for me!  My paper and button are reddish/orange, but the photo looks like they are more of a pink color.  Anyways, it was fun creating this card for a co-worker's birthday this month.  It sure is a steamy hot day today!  We are thinking of ordering a pizza and watching a movie.  Thank goodness for air conditioning!  Ok, thanks so much for visiting here today!  Take care and have a great weekend, hugs!!!:-))

    What a beauty! I can definitely see the orange in the button and that little calendar is precious :) And yes, thank heavens for air conditioning! LOL! We are suffering through nearly 120 degrees here in AZ.

    Wow....beautiful Maria! I love the shape and your stitching and the seam binding woven thru the frame is gorgeous! It's hot here too - so steamy that when I went outside my camera steamed up making it impossible to photograph anything - ditto with the AC! Have a great weekend! :)

    Your card is gorgeous!! Love all those pretty layers and ribbons. I also find it frustrating when the camera refuses to catch the 'real' colours of the card.

    Your card is amazing! I love your romatic take on these colors and the centerpiece with eyelts on the square is beautiful. Love how you put the ribbon through it ( can;t find the proper word; sorry..) Brilliant card!

    Hope everything is going well with you and your mother; take care!

    Hello Maria! Thanks for popping by my blog the other day. :) It was so sweet of you to leave me some love.

    I've been praying for you and your mom. How are things going? I see you made a little time for yourself in the craft room, and it was a good day. :) THis card is utterly gorgeous. My fave treatment: the way you wove a ribbon through the die cut frame. Beautiful! Thanks for playing with us at THe Cafe. :)
