A day for you? Yes, a birth’day’ for you!
In other words Happy Birthday! I just think this set of stamps, Really Good Greetings is way cute. I know. I said it yesterday too. But, I like the casualness of it.
Today’s posting is a rather quick card. I love how it turned out though, quick or not. I created it for Hand Stamped Sentiments, Challenge 162. Not sure if I have played along with their sketches before or not, but this one appealed to me this morning.
I used a variety of techniques here. Heat embossing for the sentiment, which I outlined using the paper piercing technique. Dry embossing for the background. Flags or pennants, which are so in theses days – I made these by using the Fancy Flower Punch. Cool, huh? Yes, another easy way to create the end points.
Well, reviewing this card, it did take more work than I thought. Seemed shorter though. I guess because everything was pulled from my box of discards….love these type of cards! And, love to use up scraps!
Happy Stampin’
