Hand-Penned Birthday

This card is for a young woman new to our church. 

I recently ordered Mint Macaron ink but apparently did not order the cardstock. It turns out that PTI Mint Julep is a pretty good match. This card is quite a mix & match of sets and took me a long to get to figure out. It is busier than I usually do but I am going to go with it.

I am using the piece of Pale Papaya sheer vellum that I cut from my previous post's card. It's getting late in the day so I didn't have enough light to capture the simmer very well.

Thanks for stoppimg by!

Color & Contour

 I finally received the Color & Contour set. I have seen so many cute cards out there and so decided to case this one for my first card. Making it easy on myself :-)

The new SU In Colors this year are really pretty but I have so many ink pads from past years that I went looking to see if I had anything close to the Pale Papaya used on this card.  I bought the cardstock so that I could match and I came up with Apricot Appeal. I think it is very close in color so I am going with it. 

For the background scallop piece I used the largest Scalloped Contours die and a piece of the new Pale Papaya Shimmer Vellum. It has a real pretty shimmer to it.

The sentiment is from Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You from The Greetery. I added some fun foam underneath the white panel to give it some depth.

One more thing. I couldn't bear to waste all the shimmer vellum underneath the white panel so I cut out a Hand-Penned Petals flower. It will be used on another card. No one will ever know that it is missing from this card. Well, almost no one :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
