Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! I needed a birthday card, so I sat down with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch {MTSC48} last night and the new Life Stories 1 papers that showed up in my mailbox yesterday and happily stamped the night away.
I stamped the Wishing you phrase in Always Artichoke and the a very happy birthday phrase in Chocolate Chip and cut out with the Large & Small Labels. Both phrases are from the Wishing You stamp set. Everything else is paper from the Life Stories collection that has been sponged with Vintage Photo and Chocolate Chip ink. I added some piercing and chocolate pearls on the long strip, and some ribbonn instead of the flower in the corner. The main background is stitched on either end and adhered to a chocolate chip card base. Finished card size is 3.25" x 6.75"
What's In It:
Stamps: Wishing You (Verve Stamps)
Paper: Life Stories 1 Collection (My Mind's Eye), Chocolate Chip, Choice Buttercream
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Vintage Photo Ranger Distress
Accessories: may arts ribbon, Kaisercraft pearls, Large & Small Labels (Nestabilities), paper piercer, sewing machine
