Happy Bird-day

Today's card was created with the Craft Your Passion challenge #251 in mind -- Anything Goes.

I recently purchased the chalk board cs from SU! and the 3 chalk ink pads that coordinate. I stamped the Tiered Birdcage from Stampendous! with the Yellow Citrus chalk ink. Then I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Added a jeweled flower from Jodie Lee Designs at Prima and a little banner from October Afternoon's Cakewalk Little Flyers. I matted the chalk board cs on a piece of craft cs then onto a piece of Coastal Cabana then onto my tangerine card base. With some white craft ink I smudged with a dauber just to give it that chalk smudged look. The sentiment is handwritten.

Hope you like my card. If you want to play along with the challenge you can jump over to the blog from HERE.

Hello and Happy Sunday to all!
Have you been in a rut when it comes to your cardmaking? No! Well I have. I have been making cards for almost 2 decades now and I find through the years my style has changed multiple times. But, for the most part it's still an image and a sentiment with some pretty dsp and cs with a little embellishment thrown in. That said, I am still; usually behind the trend. Take today's card for instance. I think stapling has been around the bend for quite some time. Given... Well, tough tooties, I used them anyway. May not make me a challenge winner but I think they worked for this one.
So what I say to you is, it doesn't matter. Fad or trend; if you like it use it! I DID!!!
