I never have enough birthday cards so this challenge was a fun and welcome one. This week our challenge on Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog is to create a card in a birthday theme.
I love this Magnolia stamp. It's from an older Magnolia release called Wedding 2010. It's name is Gift Giving Tilda and even though from the wedding collection I think it is a perfect birthday stamp. Don't forget to check out the older sets if you are looking for a new stamp because there are so many cute Magnolia stamps throughout the entire collection.
To create the card I used paper from a 6x6 pad from Prima called Annalee. This pad is beautiful and has so many pretty papers. I will be sure to use it again and again.
The sentiment is from a C.C.Designs and Amy R Designs Birthday Sentiments set. This birthday set is definitely my GoTo birthday sentiment set.
The flowers are by Magnolia and are two different styles. They are a fabulous size and shape. The small red roses are the Mini Vintage Red Roses and the pink flowers are the Vintage Pink Lilies. There are many others to chose from in the Simon Says Stamp store too.
Here is a close up of the stamped image. I used Copic markers to color her. Here is a list of the colors I used. E000,00,01,11,13, 34, 51, 57, 77, R20, RV00, 21, 23, 25, 29, B000, 00, 02, 05, C1, 3, W5
I also used these Spellbinders Nestabilities oval dies and oval scalloped dies.
I also want to submit this card to the Friday Sketchers challenge #145. I used their sketch this week and loved it.
Fabulous Tilda to use for this challenge. Loving your papers too. Love your card !
Hugs,
