I needed another birthday card, and of course, I seem to work best under stress, so I allowed myself little time to complete my card. I checked out Splitcoaststamper challenges for a bit of inspiration.
The Inspiration Challenge helped me with my color choices and several card layouts from the Featured Stamper Challenge helped me decide on my layout and some embellishing elements. My inspiration Featured Stamper cards also gave me the idea to include the Alphabet Challenge, Round 8, Letter "F" + the double challenge within that challenge of needing something on my card with swirls.
My card also took on some features from a card presented at a card class I attended several weeks ago. That card was presented by one of our hostess, Luci Kirschenbaum, so I want to give her some thanks for inspiration as well. Take a peek at my finished card for my friend's birthday, plus the inside coordinated design with my composed verse:
Ingredients: Papers: Stampin' Up CS--Kraft, Whisper White; Recollections CS--
Essentials (Violet). SU Stamp: Lots of Lavender (2018-SAB), Happy Birthday Gorgeous. Ink: SU--Wisteria Wonder, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake; Memento--Tuxedo Black. Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Birds and Swirls. Pretty Pink Posh: Gold Sequins. SU: 5/8" Burlpa Ribbon. Copic Markers. Size: 4-1/2" x 5-3/4".
Carlene, I just saw this beauty on SCS, and I wanted to see if there are more details on your post! I am amazed how you combine so many challenges on one card! I love the gorgeous image and your embellishments!! Great card, my friend!
