Happy Birthday

 Hello-

This afternoon as I had the impeachment on in the background; Peggy on facetime to my right, and my window view to the outside filling with snowflakes I made this card.

I used a new stamp to me Sunny Studio's Everything's Rosy along with Altenew mini ink cubes as its a layering stamp. The sentiment is from Close to My Heart.

I started with a full sheet of paper scored horizontally and vertically to show 4 quadrants. I intended to make 4 cards by cutting the sheet apart on the quadrants after having stamped it. 

I did not end up liking the way the 4 panels looked originally, but I did end up loving the card I made by using two panels to add some layering to the panel.


I don't like giving up once a card is started, if at all possible I try to save it somehow.  I wish I had taken photos of each of the phases, next time...

This card is going to Addicted to Stamps and More and The Flower Challenge.  





Thanks for visiting.

I love how you made a partial frame with one of your panels, Cat! Really adds some nice dimension. Don't you just love that set - one of my faves!

I don't know what your whole sheet looked like, but this looks pretty terrific to me, Cat!
