STAMPIN' UP! BLENDED SEASONS DAFFODIL DELIGHT BIRTHDAY CARD

It is my 50th birthday today!  In honour of my special day, I'd like to share with you one of my favourite cards I have made lately.  I have teamed the beautiful Blended Seasons blooms with Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty paper.

Underneath the laser-cut paper piece, is a panel of Daffodil Delight spotty Designer Series Paperr, on which I brayered Daffodil Delight ink.  I hope you can see that the brayered colour intensifies toward the bottom of the paper.  I used a Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends marker to colour some Basic Pearls, to make a nice matchy accent.

I have a busy week of celebrations, for this milestone birthday.  I've faced some pretty major challenges in my life in the past two years, and have come out the other side much stronger, and happier.  So many wonderful people truly care for me, and have my back.  I am one lucky woman.  My new life begins at 50!

I hope your week is a happy one, and I hope you, too. are blessed with loving friends and family.

STAMPIN' UP! TROPICAL CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD WITH ROUND SENTIMENT

I have had SO much fun, having my first play with the Tropical Chic stamp set, and co-ordinating dies and Designer Series Paper.  Check out my first creation with these oh-so-pretty products:

I am a big fan of green, and am thrilled with Granny Apple Green, one of Stampin' Up!'s fresh new colours.  Aren't the ribbon, and glitter enamel dot, just gorgeous?

On the broader die-cut leaves in the cluster, I inked up the stamp in Granny Apple Green, then used the "rock and roll" technique to add Shaded Spruce ink around the edges.

All of the products used to make this card are listed below.  If you click on any of the thumbnail images, you'll be taken direct to my online store.  I would love for you to shop with me, if you live in Australia, and don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I'll be working on some more cards with these delicious new products, so I hope you come back to visit soon!
