Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 28th birthday. Somehow 28 seems so much older than 27, but then I say that about every year! I'm glad to be an even-numbered age though. For some reason, I just like even numbers better - just a weird quirk I guess!

Sorry about the very strange angle on this photo. I'm not quite sure what was going on when I took this photo. Maybe I thought I was being artistic or something.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite cards that I made in Texas. I've always loved brown and pink together, and I just loved both of these sets from PTI - Fancy Flourishes and the anniversary set Everyday Classics. It's a little hard to see in this photo, but I used two different sizes of flourishes here - a larger one on the Hibiscus Burst top portion and a smaller one on the Dark Chocolate lower part.

The flower, which you can see a close up of to the left, was stamped three times - twice in brown and once in pink - and different parts of the flowers were cut out and layered with foam adhesive dots. To finish the flower embellishment off, I lined all of the edges with Stardust Stickles.

Have a wonderful day!
