Birthday Cheer

 Hello -

I am finding that I am slowing down on my card making.  And am enjoying it quite a bit more. I posted only 7 cards last month...but I loved every one of them. 

As soon as I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the Feminine theme at Watercooler Wednesday, an idea came to mind and was executed very quickly. 

The Avery Elle flowers were already colored and sitting in a little bag waiting to be used.  The octagonal die is from MFT and since its new to me will also send this card over to the February NBUS board for posting; and lastly but not least its a Birthday theme over at Addicted to Stamps and more.




Thanks so very much for visiting.

Lovely CAS card. The sprig looks perfect on that frame. I have frames like that from Altenew which I have never used!! Well, not true. I used one the other day but didn't post the card yet. Hope the new year is treating you well. Jeanne

I know I use this word too often, but there really is no better word for this design. It's perfect, Cat! I love that unusual eye-catching octagon and your flower spray looks like it is part of the frame die. Beautifully colored and blinged! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Take care and keep safe! (I think a lot of us are slowing down and enjoying it more. Covid wasn't all bad. Too soon?) Hugs, Darnell

This is absolutely beautiful, Cat! The delicate flowers and open frame make for a sweet CAS design. I tell myself to slow down and then I look at my basket of NBUS, and then I buy more stamps... it's a vicious circle!
