Happy Days! This card was chosen as a
SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS FAVORITE OF
WEEK ENDING - JULY 15, 2012
Daughter, Michele, celebrates her birthday today! I had to get my creative juices flowing to make her a special birthday card that said, "Yes, this card was made especially for Michele!" For the past year, I've been thinking about making a card for her using a vintage seed packet, depicting gardening, because she so likes to work in her yard. She has been wanting to plant some roses...especially Mr. Lincoln (a blood red with a delicious smell) to commemorate her late Grandfather Bill, his favorite. But with their move to West Virginia in the near future, that will have to wait three years until their return as roses need careful tending here with all our rain and cool weather! But meanwhile, her new rhododendron garden is looking beautiful...so fitting here in the northwest where they grow wild! Here is her card that evolved from perking slowly for almost a year...LOL!
Happy Birthday, Michele...enjoy!
Ingredients: Papers: Backround/ Aqua: Mind's Eye (Laundry Line/ Breaking Free); Paisley/ Red dot (behind seed packet): K&Company-Classic K Balley pad; Tools/gloves: K&Company dimensional stickers; Butterfly: Martha Stewart (sponge daubbed); Fence: Die-namics (My Favorite Things).

So feminine and beautiful carlene!!That sign in the front...Scott's Roses? I have a big sign just like that one that I've had for years hanging in my house. I love it!!! And those sweet gloves? Is that a sticker. or die cut? I think they are precious!!! :-)And Michele will love her card!!
ReplyDeleteThe gardening tools and gloves are K&Company dimensional stickers (from JoAnns, several months ago). I have the Papertrey dies for the gardening tools and was going to use those (why I bought them), but ran on these in my stash...it was late, and they worked perfectly with card colors AND they had the gloves! Just added an ingredients list under the card...is that a good idea? I've found it helpful if I see something I really like on a card...to know what was used.
DeleteYes its a great idea...I just get lazy to do it lol!!! Happy 4th!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card sister dear! Happy Birthday Michele, hope it was a great day!
