Happy Birthday Amy

Bob's daughter also had a birthday in March. She lives in OR which meant we didn't spend her birthday with her but Bob called her to wish her a HAPPY and of course, I made her a card . . . .

RECIPE:

• card was cut 6 x 12 inches using Kumari Embellish by Dena Designs, Inc. which of course was then scored at 6 inches and then folded in half and chalked around the edges
• background paper was cut 5.25 x 5.25 inches using an hydrangea flower print in the purples
• gate was cut using black Recollection cardstock and Cricut Ornamental Iron 2 Cartridge
• Anastasia from Lacy Sunshine was colored using Spectrum Noir and Prisma Markers with Prisma Colored Pencils and fussy cut around the edges
• birthday sentiments were from Create with TLC which were chalked around the edges and had previously been offered as freebies on the blog
• flower is Recollection Floral Embellishments
• pearls were added to her hat because she just needed to have her vintage pearls
• feather was added to her hat to complete her vintage shabby chic appearance which reminds me of a Dickens character

I know I haven't been around or creating much this past month and I thank you for visiting me today. It's been a rough past two months both mentally and physically. I'm hoping and praying that things are on the upswing because I sew love to create and to read your comments.
