It's my turn to host the Timeless Tuesday challenge this week on the Flourishes blog, and since my birthday is approaching I thought I would challenge everyone to create a birthday card! Whether it's for an immediate need, or if you just need to add to your stash, birthday cards are something we always need to be creating. So show me what you've got today to help someone celebrate their special day!
For my card, I pulled out the Friendly Reminders set and decided to use this simple straw hat hanging on the hook for my focal image, and used the "Celebrate" sentiment from Seasonal Wreaths. The layout is the Mojo Monday sketch for this week... GREAT sketch, don't you think? I picked out a variety of Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 papers for my design, and colored my image with Copic markers. The Die-Namics Faux Crochet border is peeking out below the seam binding, and I used some black KaiserCraft pearls from the Flourishes store to embellish, as well.
Be sure to visit the Flourishes blog for all the details on how to enter the challenge!
