C4C386 Birthday Card

I must admit, I haven't played in a challenge in quite some time. But I really liked the looks of the sketch over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week. It allowed an opportunity to play with some new (for me) stamps and some new and old dies.
Included are stamps from Stampin' Up!, some Spellbinders and Marianne Design Creatables Dies. The ink is from both Stampin' Up! and Ranger. The DSP and cardstock are from Stampin' Up! as well.

RAK from Debbie Angelle

My sweet stamping friend Debbie Angelle sent me the die cuts you  see on my card. I put them together to create this card. I am posting it as a Thank You to Debbie.
Thanks Debbie, it was so kind of you to think of me. I love these die cuts! Thanks for sharing with me. <3 p="">

Keep your faith in beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the spring when it is gone. ~ Roy R. Gilson.

This week the folks at ColorThrowDown194 challenged us to use Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I think this is an awesome combo and I might just use it again. For my card today I used my Top Note die and cut a piece of Poppy Parade cs. Then using my Fun Flowers die I cut largest flower from the the Poppy Parade cs. Then using the same die and some dsp I cut the two flowers. Then with more Poppy Parade I used the same die and cut the little flower centers. Added some pearls. The ribbon is Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is from the Hostess set Faith in Nature and I added a button brad. The card blank is Pool Party cs and is standard size of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Thanks for looking.
