STAMPIN' UP! COUNTRY LANE BIRTHDAY CARD

While I'm having a love affair with Stampin' Up!'s Country Lane Designer Series Paper, I thought I'd share the latest card I made with it.  Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Whisper White are today's colours.  There's hardly any stamping on this card - just the single flower, that I coloured with markers, and added some shimmer to with Wink of Stella (no matter what angle I tried to photograph that from, it didn't show, so you'll have to take my word for it!).

I die cut the "Happy Birthday" once from Mint Macaron card, and once from Whisper White card.  I ever-so-slightly offset the layers when gluing them together.  The delicate scalloped borders are from the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper pack.  After tying a knot in the twine, I used the tip of my scissors to fray out the ends a bit.

All of the products I used to make this card are listed below.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, and you live in Australia, I would love for you to shop with me (if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator).  To get to my online store, just click on any of the thumbnail images below.

I'm at a craft retreat this weekend, so hopefully will come home with at least a few creations to share!  My plan is to work on Christmas cards, but I must say my enthusiasm for them is waning.  I am ready to move on from Christmas, and it's still more than a month away!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend, whatever it holds for you.
