Birthday Wishes



Hi there,

I would like to share with you the card I made yesterday for the
challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room .  This card is also for a challenge
at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Here is the lovely photo inspiration we
were to follow for The Shabby Tea Room...

This challenge was right up my alley, because I love working with kraft and
cream colors!  I had a doily that I bought from Amish country a couple years
ago and knew it would be perfect for this card.  I also got out my needle, floss,
and aida cloth and did some stitching to add a layer of interest.  I cut part
of the doily and added tiny flowers in the center beside the beautiful large
Prima flower.  Ribbon with a fab Tim Holtz button, sewing,
and gems to finish off the card.  And. the super sketch we were to follow
from Tuesday Morning Sketches....



Whatever you have planned for today and the weekend I hope ya have
a great one!  Take care and thanks so much for visiting here today! 

*Stay tuned for tonight I will be drawing the name of one lucky winner
of my blog candy!*
