Happy Birthday & CT #89

I got an order for a Birthday card for a ladies cousin, so this is what I came up with!

One super cool part about this card is the green card is plantable and will produce butterfly attracting flowers! The plantable cards came with a "how to" paper for each card in the pack.

I used no adhesive, only staples so the recipient can just take off the staples and get to gardening! The inside of the card is a seperate piece also, after the front is taken off, they can easily tape the front to the inside and they still have a card.

This is also for Color Throwdown #89

I used the Poppyseed line from K&Company, I love the colors in this collection. They're darker than pastels, but at the same time, they're still very muted.

I used the big photo turn that says "cousin" on it as the middle flowers leaf. I got the photo turn at Joann's, it came with different family members on each one.

I got the stitching idea for the flowers stems for Kristina Werner's "Gathered Paper Flower" Card

The fibers were given to me by my friend, Amanda, thanks again! I trimmed the fibers to make them shorter because I didn't want them going over the two papers on the left.

My BIG leaf!

I got this $1 Birthday Stamp Set at Michael's.. It's by Studio G and has 2 or 3 other Birthday stamps that came with it. The dots were part of the stamp too. I cut them apart so I could use them in a different way than they had them.

Ohhh what a fun shot. Look at all those layers on the flowers! I used a crocodile texture paper, to add even more texture to the card.

CPS #123 + Color Inspiration #53 = My Sissy's Birthday!

My Grandma asked me to make a card for my sisters Birthday on the 9th. I wanted to use my new pack "Hog Heaven" from Sassafras Lass. So, I did! (Item list of what I used at the bottom of this post.) I used Kristina's Color Inspiration and CPS Sketch, so those pictures are first.

I used Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #53. I knew I wanted to use, red, yellow, white and black but I needed another color, so I went to her out the old Color Inspiration to see if I could find one with all my colors and a extra.. I didn't have to look far!! I have to say again, I think she is AMAZING!

This card is also for this week at CPS.. #123. I love seeing how everyone interprets the sketch and what they're cards come out as.. It's such a fun thing to see every week.

The wait is over.... here it is!!

I'll add the card I make her tomorrow.. it's not all the way finished yet. But I have until Thursday, so I'm good!
