Two of my favorite people have August birthdays! My BFF, Jennifer and my Grandma Swan. I set out to make them both a card that will go with their taste! The paisley card was for Jennifer. Jennifer is a very classy lady and I think this card is classy too! The card base is a navy color from Creative Memories (don't know the name of the color) and the front is CTMH Colonial White. Behind the C. White is some brown cardstock from a Bazzill Fourz pack. I saved the brown sheer ribbon from a gift someone gave me. I don't EVER throw ribbon away that comes on gifts. I always find somewhere to use it!! The stamps, ink and markers are all from CTMH. I love the accents with Diamond Stickles!! This card is one of my favorite items that I have made. Inside I used a piece of Colonial White and stamped a few of the small flowers in the corners.
My Grandma Swan loves GREEN! I used Sweet Leaf cardstock from CTMH to make the card base. I had the roses and embellishments from K&Company. I stamped Happy Birthday in the middle of the cardstock embellishment with CTMH Ink and Stamps. I added a strip of pink Bazzill Swiss Dot cardstock. I used a little bit of ink around the edges of the card and on the pink strip so that I could tie together the differences in the pink colors a little. I used some Stickles glitter glue around the center embellishment to give it extra sparkle. Inside I used another embellishment tag that said "Beautiful You". It came out super Kawaii!
