It's Your Birthday and a Couple of Challenges



This was a fun card to make...and of course very easy...I also entered them into a couple of great challenges.


 The banner was blank in the middle...so it was the perfect spot to add the circles with my sentiment stamped inside...the theme of one of the challenges..."it's your birthday"...I was thrilled when I saw I had this stamp in my stash...lol. 


 I kept it simple...everything flowed together beautifully...but it's so pretty...I can't wait to give this card for someone's birthday.


 This is the quick recipe:

Stamp Set: birthday messages and happy mail.
*****
Card stock: old olive...close to cocoa...Kraft...simply stories harvest lane dsp...and cream printer paper.
*****
Ink: old olive.
*****
Punches: scallop and 1 3/4" circles...happy birthday embossing folder.
*****
Additional supplies: s/u mini glue dots...stampin' dimensionals...crystal effects...s/u acrylic block...snail...sticky strip...big shot...simply scored plate...melon rind green bakers twine...and sunflower dew drops.


Thanks so much for droppin' by this morning...have a safe and wonderful weekend...and a stampin' good time.
Please don't forget to stop by the fabulous challenges below to see the inspirations they have to share with us.
