Why is it that I make cards for a living, but I never have a birthday card when I need one? I decided that I needed to add some birthday cards to my stash, so I made this simple and monochromatic card. I wanted to create a card using only kraft cardstock, and I gave it some interest with embossing (Cuttlebug Victoria folder) and sponging. I used the
Birthday Celebrations set by JustRite Stampers.
I stamped the large scallop in SU! Cajun Craze ink, then I hand trimmed it. The center sentiment was stamped in SU! Early Espresso ink. I sponged all the edges with
Tea Dye Distress Ink. I embellished with a trio of Prima
Sugar Plum Roses and a Webster's Pages
Sparkler.
Now I have one birthday card... I guess I should make a few more. :)
Thanks for visiting today -- have a great day!

Awesome card, Christina! LOVE the texture and that JustRite set! The flowers,twine and Webster's Sparkler add just the perfect touch!
I just love it. There are so many things going in this card, but they work perfectly together.
Love it!
What a great card! I love how the embossing stands out. Kraft paper makes some really pretty cards! I agree with you about never having enough birthday cards when we need them. How can this be? It seems that I am always making birthday cards, oh well...
What a beautiful card! It's so elegant--I love the little rhinestone button. It gives it that extra special touch.
