Today is my daughter’s birthday, and lucky for us, she’s visiting this week. Her brother and his family are coming for dinner, and we’re having some family photos taken as well.
I’m doing a much better than usual job of creating with recent purchases. One of the products I liked the most from the recent Greetery release was the Checked Out die. I thought it would be very versatile, and I’m convinced that I was right after making just one card!
I die cut two from a bright blue cardstock and layered them over a cream card base. I pulled out The Greetery’s Best Bouquets Detail die that I enjoyed using for a recentColor Hues Challenge, this time with pretty yellow and blue flowers. I added some ink blending to the flowers as well as the leaves. This is a nother top notch product from The Greetery. The floral elements as well as the whole bouquet are so easy to assemble.
I wasn’t sure where I wanted to put the sentiment, and tried a variety of dies and banners, but once again, the Gold Foiled Black Greeting Tabs were the perfect answer. It’s elegant and doesn’t cover up much of the bouquet. All in all, it’s a quintessential summer bouquet for an August birthday,
This is off to the AAA Birthday Challenge: Flowers and to NBUS since this is the debut of the Checked Out die.
Happy birthday to your daughter! Your card is charming, definitely has the feel of summer, country & picnics.
How fun to have a family dinner scheduled.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Karen! Paired with that beautiful summertime blue checked background, this truly is the quintessential summer birthday card! Happy belated birthday to your daughter! I love that she can be with you to celebrate all week … and I look forward to seeing a family photo! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
