Hi, Friends.....
I am back home in smoky Idaho. We are hugely fortunate that our home did not burn. Our amazing firefighters were so incredibly awesome!! We are truly grateful to God for protecting them as they worked to save as many homes as possible. The fires are still burning elsewhere and the smoke is terrible here, but for now our community is safe. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!!!
Today I am sharing a streamlined birthday card I put together this afternoon. It went together quickly because I already had the layered embossed background and the stamped image made. Also, I used a premade card base. Super easy to assemble with all those things available! Love it.
The cake image is from an USS (Unidentified Stamp Set) I found at a thrift store. I love that the images have words in them. It is stamped and heat embossed with white powder on a scrap from my DCWV Creamy Stack (apparently discontinued). The sentiment, from my Mark's Finest Papers - Above the Rest stamp set, is stamped with Distress Ink in Peeled Paint. The layered embossed background uses scraps from my stash and then is dry embossed with my Darice - Checkered folder. A few rhinestones from my stash finished it with a bit a bling.
Thanks for stopping by!!!! Hope you are having a good week.

Love it when a card comes together so quickly!! It's very sweet! Love the weaved embossing! Glad your home is safe from the fires, Praise the Lord! Thanks for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday this week!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you back home and crafting again! I know that there are still new fires popping up here and there so will be glad to hear when everything is safe again. In the meantime, this fun birthday card is a great way to celebrate anyone's birthday! Love the way you have been combining your previously made card backgrounds with stamped images to create smile-inducing art!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your home is safe, our friends lost theirs in our fire here!! Your card is very pretty, I like the embossed background to show off the cool cake :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are safe & sound at home. We live near the Everglades where there are fires (drove through one once - not fun!) in the dry seasons. NOW we are awaiting Hurricane Erika. Seems like a pretty mild one but we're in for a lot of wind & rain for sure this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour card is very pretty - love that stamp! And your color combo is delicious!
