Hello Journey Friends,
Today's a special day! Today is my Momma's birthday!!!
She doesn't live near me anymore so it's sad I can't celebrate her birthday with her. So while she's having fun with my Dad and enjoying her free time in retirement, I sit here thinking of the time I'll be able to visit with them again...
I sure hope she has some fun times today! I decided to make a card for her that would incorporate some of our favorite things...music, flowers and....YELLOW! I hope she likes it!
To create this card, I stamped the
Vintage Notes background onto
Buttercream cardstock and onto
Limeade Splash cardstock using a mix of
Kiwi Slice,
Limeade Splash and
Electric Lime inks. After that, I rubbed a bit of
Bubble Gum and
Banana Cream ink onto the edges. I also splattered some
Gold Silk,
Electric Lime and
Sour Lemon Silk onto both stamped layers.
Next, I tore a piece of
vellum and rubbed a bit of
Electric Lime ink onto it, then wrapped some natural thread around the vellum. I added it to the stamped layer in a collage fashion. The rose (
Summer Rose) was created using
Sour Lemon Splash and
Limeade Splash and
Kiwi Slice ink. I wanted a few yellow posies (yellow roses and flowers are my Mom's favorite) so I diecut some
Spring Bloom Mini flowers and colored them with a DTP method using
Bubble Gum and
Banana Cream and
Lemon Drop ink.
To finish off the card, I cut a small tag using the
Tag Elements die set from
Whip Cream cardstock and stamped it with the Happy Birthday sentiment from a retired set. I layered this panel onto Whip Cream cardstock then mounted onto a
Lemon Drop card base.
Thanks for popping in to check out my Momma's birthday card! I hope she enjoys it!
Happy Birthday!!!
Love you Mom!!!
