Hello-
AAA Birthday Game has an anything goes challenge. I played with a new SU (new to me -- its been out awhile) stamp set called Two Tone Flora. One of the easiest two step stamps I have played with.
I had a nice card with the florals clustered on the front. But it seemed to be missing something. I added enameled dots and there was just still to much white. So I inked blended a bit on the top and the bottom of the card...I love the "Frame" that gives.
Earlier this month a friend of hubs and his folks was celebrating a big birthday, and I made another custom card for my MIL to give to her. I do enjoy being able to make a special card. This one used a coverplate from The Greetery, dies from Stampin Up and a custom printed sentiment.
I am submitting this one as well.
Thanks so much for visiting.

You did a brilliant job with that soft green inking, it has really lifted the card. the die cut 80 birthday card is stunning too, love those colours and the central flower xx
Beautiful two-step stamps! I absolutely love the look of your gentle inking at the top and bottom of the card. Making a note of that! I know your MIL was delighted with the personalized birthday card you made for her friend. Pretty blue and white with an awesome cover plate.
Two pretty cards, Cat! The design you created for the two step floral card is just wonderful. What a cute set! Your custom birthday card is lovely and I'm sure it brought a smile to the recipient!

Such awesome cards, Cat! :) The flower one is just beautiful and the personalized card with the numbers in the background is just great!

Two AWESOME cards Cat!! I love the ink blending on the top and bottom of the 1st card...adds such a nice grounding touch! And your birthday card is wonderful!! I use that Greetery die so often and it has become a staple for me when making a special number card! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Oh, yes, that pretty blended color adds the perfect touch of special to that white space, Cat - what a great idea!
I think it's so wonderful that you customize cards for your husband's family - betting they love it, and you make them feel very special, too!

Two gorgeous floral cards! The inking on the first is a great addition and the numbers cover plate on the second is a fun touch.
It's amazing what a bit of ink blending can add to a card, especially when your blending is so smooth and even. I wish I could do that. Love the birthday card with the number background and beautiful flower! I'm sure she loves it!
Gorgeous pair of birthday cards Cat. Especially love that 1st one with its soft feminine colours and floral design. Thanks for joining us at AAA Birthday.
Two pretty cards, Cat! The blending on the first really sets off your gorgeous flowers, and all the great layers together on the second make a terrific card
A really pretty flower card!!
Two special bday cards, Cat - love the layered flowers and the number cover plate!!
The custom card is a beauty! Absolutely love the look of your inking on the first card!
Beautifully done - Thanks for sharing over at AAA Birthday this month, hope to see you in future challenges.
