Happy Happy Happy Birthday

 


The combination of Honey Bee and Waffle Flower is a winner! 



The confetti is shiny gold, very festive. I found notecards in my stash in an assortment from Michael's. Sadly, the confetti on the notecard was landscape, not portrait. Took some cropping and piecing, actually used a card front and part of another because I wanted the confetti to drop down lower on the third Happy. The red card front is double stacked, and the bottom happy is filled in with white letters for stability.

Washi Heart

Struggled for days trying to come up with a simple but special thank you. Haven't done washi paper quilting in years, so pulled out some washi paper and foam sheets. There is a nice tutorial here.

Love Letters

Happy with how this card turned out!


Concord & 9th Love Letters takes center stage on this card. I thought the Lawn Fawn Quilted Backdrop complemented the leaf shapes. I used the peachy colored Love Letters enamel shapes hearts to work with the old olive background. The letters are double stacked.

Kayak Girl

When I saw Angie Blom's Kayak Girl I knew I would make a card for my friend Martha. She and her husband have a house on Anderson Island, WA and love to kayak. If I had a Mt. Rainier stamp I would have fussy cut the tree line.


The Kayak Girl image was fussy cut and colored with Copics. I tried to choose colors for a harmonious feel (one with nature).

Create and give with joy. 💛
