Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone :o) Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

I made a card following the sketch at Card Patterns. It's also a card for the current 'Your Next Stamp Challenge' where they want to see bold, bright, summery colors. I hope my blues and greens (which reminds me so much of Summer) are counting ;o)

Hallo zusammen :o) Ich hoffe Ihr habt/hattet einen wunderbaren Dienstag!

Ich habe diese Karte nach einem Sketch bei Card Patterns gemacht. Es ist außerdem für die aktuelle 'Your Next Stamp' Herausforderung wo helle, freundliche, sommerliche Farben gewünscht waren. Ich hoffe mein blau und grün (was mich persönlich immer sehr an den Sommer erinnert) zählt ;o)

Crate Paper meets Prima for Card Patterns 69

I used some of the beautiful papers and elements from the Prudence Collection Kit by Crate Paper
Love the subtle colors and the bit of bling the label and many of the other elements in this kit come with

For the embellishments I used some paper flowers and roses by Prima that I sprayed with a mixture of water and Moonglow powders. I also used some 'Say it in Crystal' bits from Prima to create the crystal swirls

This card is made following the wonderful sketch #69 over at Card Patterns
Thanks so much for the sketch! It was much fun to play with!
