Saturday is my baby sister's birthday. Her name is Lisa Kay, but we've called her DD, or DDK since she was a baby. It's all my brother's fault. He was little, and couldn't say "Lisa," it came out "Deedah." It transformed into DD, and to our family, she will always be so. Being the youngest of four, she was sweet, feisty, and strong. She still is! So I had to make a card for her birthday. My mojo needed a little push, so I found this sketch at
Sunday Stamps. It really helped me to convey my wishes for her birthday. And as it happens, this will fit into
SSS Wednesday Challenge, and the
Flower Challenge too.
Here's my card:
I used an ivory base, and then stamped my large C9 floral image on the front. Next I found a large scrap of watercolor paper and stamped the image again. Using my Zigs, I watercolored the image, and took a Studio Calico tag die and cut the part of the image I wanted. I overlaid the tag, and added some sheer blue ribbon. The sentiment is from Evelin T. Designs. I framed everything with an RC die using a large green scrap. I'm hoping DD will like it. And as always my friend...
Bev, your floral creation is stunning! Fabulous coloring and I love how you pieced it all together with the spotlight technique. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Sunday Stamps!:)
ReplyDeleteOh Bev...this is SOOOO pretty! How could your sister not LOVE it?!! (Send it to me if she doesn't like it!!) I love how you water colored just a portion of the flowers...it totally pops against the rest of the card, and I'm loving all the stitching lines on the card base too! Lovely, lovely card my friend! And thanks for the sunshine today...I love it!! :0)

How pretty Bev, I can't do tags... I don't know whether they hate me or I hate them so I'm definitely in awe of yours using the spotlight technique. I'm sure this beauty will take pride of place at your sisters. I hope she's had/has a lovely day. My youngest renamed his brother for years because he couldn't say Kyle, weirdly he called him Oah as in Noah... never understood why lol x
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice big sister you are... and such a pretty birthday card to remember your baby sister's special day!
