happy birthday, gorgeous

Hello again, my peeps! This is the final card I created for The Outlawz Challenges and I have to say (again) that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself! I’m playing in a couple new challenges that I’ve never played in before, and this card is for Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge. Our sponsor this time is Sherry West Art. The theme is about Raindrops, so I used the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set to create a one-layer card, colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I lived 45 years in Florida where it rains all the time, and to be quite honest, too much rain can be depressing. The hubs and I moved out to Colorado three years ago and it hardly ever rains here, so when it does rain, it’s wonderful! Funny how things change, lol! This was a quick and easy card.

There are no layers. I stamped the image and sentiments directly on the thick card base.

One more look… really love the simplicity of this card! It would be super easy to reproduce to make a set to gift to a friend. ;)

I’d love to enter this card into these additional challenges:

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;) View all posts by LeslieT
