Happy Birthday!


Hi there!

Happy Monday!  Hope your Monday is off to a good start for the week!  I did some cleaning and organizing in my craft room last night and this morning.  It's always helpful to get things organized.  And, it's always fun to find things that you forgot you had!:-)  After I had things under control, I decided to sit down and make a card for the challenge over at Dynamic Duos.  The colors we were to follow this week are pool party and black.  The option was to add embossing...

 
For my card I couldn't wait to ink up the mosaic stamp!  I recently purchased it and knew I'd love it!  The stamp is so versatile.  I already have ideas to use it for my Christmas cards.  And, Christmas is only a few months away...yikes!:-)  So, for my card I started with a black card base and embossed the next layer with Modern Wallpaper emboss folder from Cuttlebug.  I stamped and punched out the mosaic pieces.  I popped them up on dimensionals and added pearls.  I added a border along the bottom for interest and topped the card off with sheer ribbon.  I have lots of birthdays in the family for next month, so it's great to have one done for my birthday stash.  


Ok, friends, enjoy your day, hugs!  And, thanks so much for dropping by today!
