Hi Everyone,Here is a card made for Jen's Sketch for You to Try. What a great sketch and boy can I use some sketch ideas - for all the birthdays this week. I feel like everyone's birthday is rolled into this week along with school starting and a million other things that have to get done before the week is through... phew! I am just tired thinking about all that :)
So, I think that is why it was fun to sit down and take a breather and make this card. It was also made for a color challenge from Charmaine from Meet the Verve Divas Challenge - the challenge is to make a card black and white card with a splash of color.
I love a black and white card - with a splash of ANY color - so it was hard to choose - but I went with a violet color. I love how this came together - and I played around for a while trying different flowers and other embellishments in the top right corner - but it felt too busy next to the sentiment so eventually, I decided on a bow - but kept it kinda centered on the right side. I have to say that I love this stamp set from TCP - it is just so much fun to stamp and to color!
So let's see... 3 birthday cards down... only 3 more to go and 2 anniversary ones too... but from the looks of it now - they might just be getting a happy anniversary phone call (LOL!) ....
So preschool starts tomorrow and then on Friday is our turn to bring snack (how quickly it all begins!) I am thinking muffins and popcorn - any suggestions?
Hope all of you are well - and are enjoying the thought of the upcoming weekend is that looming on the horizon! Speaking of which I be off to clean all the bits of lunch that are looming on the floor (can you really use looming in that context... well, regardless - I still need to go and clean it :)
Thank you for visiting!
Ciao for now,
Sankari

Hey, this is a WOW card, too, but this is one for me to case some day - not such a trial of patience like your brick and window card which I only can admire but NEVER case, LOL! I LOVE those beads on the cakes, they make them sooo elegant! And the black-and-white base with just this bit of color looks great.
Super cute -- love the shade of purple you used-- the stamp staying is so true! :)
ADORABLE! I just LOVE this! Those cakes are just darling with the pearls! Thanks for playing!
Oh NICE! Don't like purple for me but your card looks fab in that color! Awesome!!! I think I owe you an email :) I am a bit swamped with the first week of class... so if I do (I don't even remember... how BAD!!) I WILL get back to you!
Love the card! Love the pearls! What a fun sentiment! Boy, I must be old for all the cake I eat - it's always my birthday! : )
this just has yummy goodness written all over it!
