Swirly Happy Birthday



Hey there! 
Welcome. This card is for:
Sunday Stamps Challenge # 167

 The inspiration picture is yummy and
saturated in lots of warm tones,
and balanced by the cool gray colors.



I've been using this
Swirly Bird set a lot lately.
I liked how the circular shapes
mimicked the shape of the fruit.






I used 5 colors from the photo.
I added the sequins to add the shine
from the fresh fruit.



Thank You Claire!!

Stamps: Swirly Bird, HB Gorgeous 
Paper: Smokey Slate, Basic Gray,
Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral,

NOEL/JOY



Good Morning!

This card is for:
Sunday Stamps Challenge # 166  

Loved the sketch and wanted to
join in on the fun! I thought of
this stamp set when I saw the sketch.
It's from a Paper Pumpkin kit.
I almost ALWAYS forget about
the cute and kit only stamp sets
that come monthly ;)



This is a pretty clean and simple
design for me. I wouldn't say CAS is my
style so when I do one I think comes
out ok, I'm a little surprised :0



Thank You Lisa!

Stamps : Mistletoe & Holly (Paper Pumpkin)
Paper: Mossy Meadow, White &
Wood Textures DSP

For a child will be born to us,
A son will be given to us,
And the government will be on his shoulders.
He will be named WONDERFUL COUNSELOR,
MIGHTY GOD, ETERNAL FATHER,
PRINCE OF PEACE.
