Using the super cute a la Modes from My Favorite Things stamps. This one is called Birthday Girl.
I used the sketch from the MFT blog.
Here's my take
Papers are from PTI and October Afternoon. I colored the Birthday Girl with Copics and paper pieced with PTI Bitty Dot paper. The jewels are pink, even though it may be tough to see.
I'm filing this under 2011 projects also because I'm thinking this card will go to my niece for her birthday next month. But we'll see what else I make before then!
I have an online to do list at Toodledoo. Currently there are over 80 items on my to list. I know, it sounds like a lot. But I put just about every project or long term idea on that list so I can actually remember it. I have a great habit of having genius ideas and then promptly forgetting them.
Anyhoo. One of the things on my list is to be better about sending birthday cards. ON TIME. I'm a cardmaker that misses birthdays like crazy.
The first birthday of the year was Jan 13th - my friend Geoff, who is married to my bff Mya. I did manage to get a card out to him on time. I took a photo of it too, but it was on my phone.
It just so happens that Mya's birthday is January 21st. So her card is next to leave my craft area. I mentioned that she's my bff, right? So that calls for a little more than just a card. I made her a set of six cards, all using flowers from various PTI cards. I wrote my birthday message to her on a Post-It inside one of the cards so she can reuse it.
I'm still figuring out how to take the best photos, since it's been a while since I've done this.
All PTI colors as well - Lemon Tart, Plum Pudding, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist, Raspberry Fizz and Hibiscus Burst. Stamps are YOF Sweet Peas, In Bloom, Delightful Dahlia, Friends Til the End, YOF Roses, and YOF Violets. Sentiments are from various sets, mostly the YOF sets because I really love those fonts.
They are going out in the mail tomorrow! Hope she likes them!
