Kelly's Birthday Card...


Good Evening Friends!

I made today's creation for Kelly, one of my downline members who's birthday is on Thursday.  This card is on it's way to her as I type this & I do hope she likes it!!!  I took a peek at this week's Mojo Sketch & quickly decided that this layout would totally work for me!!!  I think it's great for showcasing whatever DSP you're using & in my case; I'm using the new Spice Cake DSP that will be available on Thursday.  Honestly, I'm in love with this pack of paper & that's a first for me when it comes to Fall designs LOL!  Seriously though; all the patterns & colors are very appealing and tastefully put together so this pack of DSP is definitely a winner for me!!!!  

After I had the layout figured out; everything else fell together rather quickly.  I used the new Gently Falling stampset along with Happiest Birthday Wishes & I think they *gelled* together quite nicely.  I also *distressed* the edges of my DSP to help distinguish the layers a bit--I felt they were running together & since I was mailing it....wanted to keep the card as FLAT as possible!  My last minute touches besides decorating the inside were to add the pearls to the corners, medallion & make my leaf sparkle--sorry you can't really see it in the photo!!!

Well, I need to get back to my Open House goodies so I'm off!  Thanks so much for stopping by tonight & have a great rest of the evening !!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
