Our Daily Bread designs for their 6th Anniversary would like us to use only their stamps on this challenge, now we are suppose to use our favorite stamps, I can't choose a favorite but I do love this stamp, and all the birthday greetings that go with it. I also bought the die to cut it out, love the look that gives, and it gets nice and close. You can find out all the details about the challenge HERE on their blog.
Also today is the first and I have an inspiration card too. Shirley does such beautiful cards, and she gives details on everything she does, she is great about sharing things she learns. Here is a link to Shirley's blog , and the card that I used for my inspiration today. She did a beautiful job to give it dimension, I didn't go that far, but I did like the colors in her flowers and tried to do the same on my flower bouquet.
I used the antique linen distressed ink around the sentiment and the "doily" square.

Oh, Connie, it's always such a delight to see your cards, and this one is beautiful! I agree with you...very hard to. Pick a favorite, but this is one of them for me too! It's beautifully colored, and I love your design and colors! Stunning! So glad you've joined us this week for the ODBD anniversary Shining the Light challenge, sweet friend! Hugs!
This is beautiful, Connie! I love the image and you did such a perfect job cutting it out. Also, the Liquid Pearls look great on your embossed background. I have to remember to use those more often. Most times you can hardly tell the difference!
First, let me say thank you, Connie, for your more than kind words about my cards and for referring to my blog. Your card is truly beautiful. I love what you did with the embossed BG and Liquid Pears. The flowers are lovely and, of course, I am in love with the way you mounted them too! Your blog has always inspired me and thank you for sharing too!! Hugs,
Your post is why I need to try and keep more up to date on reading the blogs I follow. :-)
This is really beautiful, Connie what fabulous coloring you have done.
