Birthday Wishes...

Hi all! Hope you have been having a Lovely Thursday! Mine has been nice and relaxing, believe it or not, lol. I try to keep the days that I work free of a bunch of things to do so I can be relatively stress free.. lol This evening before I head out, I thought I would do a quick post of my latest creation inspired by the Fabulous Ladies of CR84FN and their latest Color Challenge #45. I'm not sure that I nailed their Cheery Vibrant colors this time as I went for a bit softer look with them instead.. I just found these Fabulous Digi dp's that I just HAD to use.. lol.. So here's what I came up with...

See, a bit softer, but all the colors are still there.. 8-)  My Mats and BG Layers were created using Holly Mc Caig's Gorgeous Shabby Retreat digi dp's and some kraft CS from my stash.  I created my Sweet flower with coffee filters, my trusty Copics, a vintage pearl brad and Mona's Terrific Tutorial, Thanks Mona! 8-). I also added some PTI Die cut leaves for a bit of flourish.  My PTI sentiment was stamped onto a Classic Circles Nesties Die cut with Memento Rich Cocoa and matted up with my MFT Scallop Doily Die-namic. To finish it all up I inked all my edges with a touch or Vintage Photo Distress ink and added a bit of ribbon from my stash! Pretty easy peasy huh...? 8-)

Here are the Wonderful CR84FN colors and I also used one of Miss Iwona's previous Sketchbook Saturday Sketches too! 

Hope you all have a Super evening & Thanks so much for dropping in!
Thanks for stopping by!
