Birthday Chuckles


Danielle chose the colors this week for the CTD#106 and I found them easy to work with. Soft Sky is one color I hope SU! will bring back one day and it looks so pretty with Chocolate Chip! On to my card.
I combined the CTD106 challenge with the SC294 sketch challenge to create this card. It has lots of layers and it's a square 4.5 card which I rarely make. I used SU! celery and soft sky DP, along with Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky and PTI's kraft card stock. The image is by Inkadinkado, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear detail ep, then colored with Tombows. After punching the scalloped border, I punched some holes into the round edges and sponged with Chocolate Chip. Would you like to guess which embossing folder I used on the Soft Sky panel?! Yep, it's that square lattice ef by SU! that I can't seem to put down lately. I made the faux brads with a hole punch, and a mini sunburst punch, dotting them with Glossy Accents and adding a snippet of Certainly Celery ribbon on the corner.
Now that I made my card for today I have to run errands! Have a good one!!

Ohhhhh, honey, baby, sweetheart! WHAT FUN! Golly, GOSH this is ONE cute stamp! This card is SUCH a good time, and baby, that embossing folder NEVER looks tiring in your capable hands!!! I COMPLETELY agree about the "soft sky" retirement.. Every time I use one of my treasured scraps, I weep a little. {It's SUCH an awesome color!!!}

Your work is INSPIRING as EVER!!! Yee Haw!
