It has been a glorious Saturday here in Nova Scotia. We took our saint, Ella, for a Jeep ride with the top down and then for a long dip in the lake. She stayed in the water for a while for a long cool soak. She is definitely a lake lover in this heat!
Today I am sharing a birthday card using my favorite paper: Graphic 45's Bird Song. I sparingly use the paper and I keep all the little scraps from my paper pad- which I ended up using as the banners on my card. JustRite's birthday sentiment from Winged Vintage Labels Two and Three (just came in the mail yesterday!!) was stamped onto a die cut from Spellbinders' Stately Circles. Tim Holtz's antique linen ink supplied the aged look. Under the die cut, I stacked three scraps of banners. Two small doilies were assembled as were two roses with leaves. The embroidered lace trim is a Recollections item. Colored gems added some highlights on the die cut and the opposite corner of the card. The card used my favorite things: a JustRite stamp, Bird Song paper, gems, Spellbinders and flowers. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
