Papertrey April Blog Hop Challenge

Today is Papertrey's monthly blog hop.  Below is the inspiration photo.

For my card I decided to go with an ombre affect rather than circles.

I used Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry and Sweet Blush with one of the Modern Background Stencils. I layered Splits: Celebrate over the top of this. That's it. CAS!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Birthday DD!

My birthday and my daughter's are 3 days apart. We usually get to celebrate together but last fall she went back to grad school to get her doctorate. Since she is now several thousand miles away I won't be there but she is able to visit with my younger daughter who is also several thousand miles away. What's with that?!!  Anyway, her first celebration was Saturday and her real birthday is today so she gets two cards :-)

I'm using some of the new stuff that I just received from Papertrey.

It took some trial and error with this card but the black strip is cut 9/16". That works pretty well. This card is a case of the one by Lizzie Jones which is quite appropriate since my daughter's name is also Liz.

Happy Birthday Liz!!!
