STAMPIN' UP WATERMELON WONDER BOTANICAL BIRTHDAY CARD #1

Surprise!  I'm back with a card to share.  After having done no stamping for around 2 months, I recently had a burst of energy and made two birthday cards for special women in my life.  My craft room is still in disarray, but I am hopeful it's only about another 2 weeks until all the cabinetry is in, and I can find homes for all the "stuff" that is cluttering up my room, and stifling my creativity.

This is the card I made for my niece's recent birthday.  I love how happy Watermelon Wonder is, as a colour.  Elements of glittery gold add a bit of elegance.  Oh, how I love the Gold Glitter tape that is one of the Sale-A-Bration freebies on offer until the end of March (it comes in a pack with silver and white glitter tape, too).  It's thicker than washi tape, but tears just as easily.  I've layered a thin strip of Basic Black cardstock over the glitter tape on this card, and it holds beautifully.  Another Sale-A-Bration freebie featured on this card is the Botanical Gardens vellum stack. 

While I had these products out on my craft desk, I made another card for a friend; make sure you come back in a couple of days, to see what I came up with!
