A Special Birthday


Happy Friday! The weather here in New England is perfect. Just like a summer day should be, warm but not roasting like last week. We celebrated a very special birthday at my house. My daughter turned 30. It is hard to believe that she is this old, where do the years go. I guess that makes me older than I feel and hopefully look! I wanted to make sure I made a very special card with everything that she loves, the color pink, roses, pearls, lacey things and anything that sparkles. I decided to use my Rubber Stamp Tapestry Rose Set because of the softness you can create. I made the heart shape to show our love for her. It is hard to see in the picture but I dotted all the small accent flowers on the heart with diamond Stickles. I am so glad that she liked it.

Here are some fabulous challenges that fit my card

    Captivating the way you embellish admires me a lot.. i suggest you should go for Plastic business cards designs..
