Flowery birthday

This is pretty self explanatory.  The DP is by Recollections; Ribbon is Offray, flowers by Petaloo, the scallop punch is Fiskars, and the sentiment is JustRite. I sprinkled a bit of glitter over the patterned paper.

Faith is an important favorite word

This is not the kind of card I usually make, but I am quite happy with the results.
Here is a challenge to use no designer paper, so the panels use the textile CB and repeated stamping of the word "Faith" (ODB):  http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Shining%20the%20Light%20Challenge
This calls for a card based on a favorite word:  http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/
I based mine on this sketch:  http://dancinginpajamas.blogspot.com/
Dry embossing is called for here:  http://craftsandmechallenges.blogspot.com/ 
 I used white and light peach cs.  Some ink is a light coral, and the main image is a light rust.
Stamps are ODB and part of a dollar sentiment stamp - the complete phrase is Just For You but that did not fit on a small oval so I improvised.  The die cuts are Nesties ovals and eyelet circles.  Light coral ribbon is the finishing touch.
