A huge, warm, happy birthday to maria f. who is enjoying her big 5-0 with family and friends right about now!! And a big thanks goes to Shirley-Bee for getting us all together to celebrate!
As I'm sure you all know, maria is extremely gifted in this whole card makin' thang. She gets published regularly and is not afraid to try ANYthing. At all. I love to pop by her blog and see what craziness she's up to. I started scrolling through to pick a card to case, but I couldn't do it. There were just too many (like this card, this card, and I can't leave out this card either) that a decision was taking much too long. So I went with a new design.

The "happy"s are stamped in diagonal stripes, and united by blocks of color. I kinda like the sentiment all cozy in the corner of the card. Maria is definitely one of my faves to visit, so I wanted to let her know that. The 50 is die cut from a metallic vellum so all those individually stamped "happy"s still show through (gotta get credit for that, darn it!)

Awesome stamping Kelly! Love the repeat of Happy in the pretty colors! Metallic vellum...need some of that!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have found a cozy corner to put my sentiment. Now my card looks plain and like a loser. I love the see through look of the number. It all fits together nicely!
ReplyDeleteLURVE this card, Miss Kelly!! ;)

ReplyDeleteI wondered how the heck you did the 50? (Happy it didn't have to hog the stage ;) Metallic vellum... well I filled my suitcase but not with that! Your sentiment... awww... thanks girlfriend. Maybe there is a girls' weekend in the midwest somewhere in our future. For now, Prosit! and thanks for joining my party.
