Here is the card I made for the PPA8.  I also made it for a co-worker for her birthday.  I have made it my personal goal to make a birthday card for every co-worker in our school.  I started in September and I think we have had 10 or so birthdays.  I need several for October too.  I have decided that whenever I participate in a challenge I will make a birthday card so hopefully I will have a stash built up again.  Plus, then I have to participate since the card is needed for work, right…:)  The purple background paper was in my stash.  I got it several years ago in one of the paper stacks for Christmas.  The flower like image is from a newer set of my by American Craft-clear stamp sentiments, which I am loving!  I stamped it several times across the white cs.  Our local HL is carrying them and there are several more sets that I wouldn’t mind picking up.  I stamped the image with Colorbox chalk wisteria.  It’s a petal point set, primary pastels.  The butterfly is from my bridgeport set by s.e.i.  I stamped the solid butterfly in blue and the detailed butterfly in the same purple again.  The blue is from Colorbox Paintbox chalk- ocean breeze and the color is ice blue.   The ribbon came from HL in their floral section.  I used my corner rounder for the white cs.  Then I used my 1 7/16 scallop punch on the purple cs from HL and my 1 1/4 circle punch on the butterfly.  This was a very quick and easy card to make.  What do you think, I ‘d love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks for looking and have a great Saturday.

Good morning all,

Here is the birthday card I made for my mother-in-law last night.  I have been wanting to use the ESS52 sketch and finally did!  The card also meets the Color Challenge 236 on SCS which are pretty in pink, soft suede and whisper white.  The third challenge is for ssnotime105.  You can only stamp your image in black or brown ink…no color.  I used Colorbox chalk chestnut roan.  THe image is from Inkadinkado- Stamp it, girlfriend.  I used white and pink cs along with the pp that was in my scrap box.  The ribbon is from American crafts.  The brad was also in my stash of goodies.  The inside sentiment is from Printworks-clearly defined.
