A Couple of Birthday Cards

Hey everyone - hope you're having a wonderful week! Today I'm sharing birthday cards made for a married couple - ladies first:

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card; Michael's lime green;

Momenta watercolor print & a scrap of green & yellow prints

Dies - My Favorite Things Stitched Blooms;

A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Embossing Folder - Spellbinders Wedding Ring Stitch (retired)

Other - Michael's gems;

Taylored Expressions Simple Strips in Reverse Everyday Occasions

This card went to the amazing Darnell (djkardkreations) for her July bday. I realized I'd never posted it. Back in June I created a bunch of cards using die cut stitched flowers from My Favorite Things - don't know how I ever resisted ordering this die set earlier! Love, love, love!! To ground the flower cluster I used a vellum hexagon I had in the bits box (maybe Spellbinders?) and arranged it all atop a bright green panel diecut with a dot stitched rectangle then embossed.

I'm remembering to post now because Darnell's hubby had a bday yesterday. A few years ago he had commented that Darnell received a lot of cards. Not wanting him to feel left out, I started sending him a birthday card - I sign it from a crazy card-making friend of Darnell's. :) Anyway, Darnell reports that he received it timely and liked the tool paper (a fave of mine for manly cards).

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

Paper Studio browns; Basic Grey Bowties (2012 retired) 

Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 (retired)

That's it for today. I'm off to attend a class for storytellers - it starts today at a local theater & runs 7 weeks, once a week. At the end, there's supposed to be a performance. I haven't decided if I'll participate - we'll see. Reminds me of my voice class in college that culminated in a recital - oops, missed it! Wish me luck...

Thanks for stopping!
