Belated Birthday

It's the last day of February and I realized I haven't entered anything into  The Craft's Meow February Sketch Challenge.

 

I found this stamped ship that was left over from another project so I decided to use it on this card.  All of the papers are from my scrap pile.  The "Oh Gosh I just remembered" sentiment is from Unity's Kit of the month.  I used the Sizzix Decorative Label set #4 to cut out the sentiment.  I added a brown Pearl to each side to finish off my card.

I finished the inside with a strip of the paisley pattern paper and a white mat.  I inked all of my edges in burgundy.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone and Happy Friday!  Thanks for joining me from the Card A Day Blog, I'm continuing with the Valentine's Theme.

I started with a tan base cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2, scored on the 8 1/2" side at 4 1/4".  The gold paper was cut to 4" x 5 1/4", then embossed with the textile folder and the edges are inked.

 

I stamped the rose image on white card stock and cut out using the Nestabilities circle dies, then I embossed and inked the edges.  I stamped the heart ticket stamp twice, cut it out and inked the edges.  The xoxo border was stamped onto white card stock, clear embossed then I trimmed around the edges.

 

 

I layered everything onto the paper doily and finishing by adding a couple of buttons and a bow.

 

For the inside of my card I stamped the lace border onto white card stock, used clear embossing power and cut it out.  I inked around the edges of the mat and the lace.  Thanks so much for stopping by today and don't forget to enter the challenge at the Card A Day Blog.

I'm entering this card in the Unity Friends with Flair Challenge and the January Sketch Challenge at The Crafts Meow.
