I JUST CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE! I've been holding off on posting this card, because it's the birthday card for my most devoted blog reader, but unfortunately, the postal service is not gettig it to her quick enough! Anyway, Kris, don't look further if you want to see it in the mail first! And, I hope you had a wonderful birthday on Saturday!
So, this card is ENTIRELY because of her! I fell in love with Magnolia stamps because she introduced me to them, I learned to do this cool thing where you raise part of the image with mounting squares or pop dots (can't remember the name, but I did this to the balloon Tilda is holding and everyone LOVES it!) I have this blog because she helped me get it started. Kris has taught me so much and helped me throughout my journey to find my talent in making cards and I just want to say "thanks" You're a wonderful friend and crafting mentor!
I've can't remember who this paper is by, but I LOVE it, so I've kept every scrap I've had of it! This is a new Tilda with Balloon stamp. Isn't she so pretty? The little candle & sentiment stamp I got at Michaels YEARS ago. I used a bit of stickles on various places, but not too much, because I didn't want to take away from the softness of Tilda. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my card and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRISTINE! :)
Blessings!
