Winter Birthday WishesNovember 6th, 2009 @ 8:08 am
It’s Friday! I am ready for the weekend and the warm weather that is supposed to come with it. That’s completely opposite of what I’ve been stamping this week. I have a few orders for Birthday cards and this is one of them that I’ve been working on. I used the Sketch Challenge on SCS and the colors from Holiday Lounge to come up with it. I quite like how it turned out. I think my favorite part is the shimmery snow that was added with Frost White and Platinum Shimmer Paints. I also like how the main image panel is Kraft instead of the traditional Whisper White or Very Vanilla. It’s also been a while since I pulled out Season of Friendship and it’s still one of my favorite sets because of all of the possibilities it has. Here I opted for an empty tree surrounded by falling snowflakes and a Ruby Red bird perched in the branches. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from On Your Birthday.
Today I’m moving onto the orders of Anniversary cards I have waiting to fill. I also decided to try out eWillow and opened a store front there, so it’s a good chance that items from my blog posts will end up there. You can find my storefront here – http://igotstamps.ewillow.com
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. I’m hoping to get some stamping in, enjoy the warmer weather and be back here on Monday with something to share.
