Birthday Card ~ Pink Bells {2nd Post}

It's that time again.

If you LOVE your Verve goodies and I DO then the 

AnniVERVEsary Release Retrospective Hop and Challenge 

is going to make your day. It did mine.

It was just the thing to get my crafty mojo up and running today.

I played with the Framed Florals stamp set 

from Julee's August release to create my card.

I know they are supposed to be bluebells but sometimes
I like to play outside the box so I colored them up with a pink Copic.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.

*Floral frame and sentiment from the Framed Florals stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Banner cut using the Flag It Die Set from Verve Stamps.
*Sequins from the Pastel Sequin Mix from Verve Stamps.
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder from Provocraft.
*Ribbon from Offray.
*E13, R83 and YG06 markers from Copic.
*Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.

Birthday Card ~ Sweetie Bee {1st Post}

I combined this cute bee with the sweet cupcake 

using the masking technique where they overlapped.

Next I colored them up then brushed on some sparkly glitter.

I overlapped three scalloped heart borders then

used the negative cut hearts for decoration.

To finish up I added the sentiment on a die cut heart.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Cupcake from the Carpe Cupcake stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Bee from the Lil Bit Buggie stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas.

*Sentiment from the Big Wish stamp set from Verve Stamps.
