Quick Quotes Farmhouse Birthday Card

Good morning, today's project is a sweet birthday card.  I am using the retired Quick Quotes paper collection Farmhouse.  These papers are just so pretty and feminine.  I added to the femininity with the stitched scallop border punch from Creative Memories.  I manipulated the edges to flare out.  I added a bit of fancy rickrack along the seam of the papers which IRL is a delightful touch, the picture does not do it justice.  


I used this sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday last month...but forgot to post in time to play along.  It is hard to see but I did add 3 tiny pearls just to the right of the tab.  I stamped, embossed and punched the sentiment then popped it up on dots.




Ingredients:
Quick Quotes Farmhouse papers
Creative Memories border maker
Recollections rickrack 
Stampin Up Label Love stamped sentiment from 2013
coordinating SU Artisan label punch
Recollections Pesto Pearl embossing powder

  2. Your papers are really pretty. It's good to see that old stamp in use - I'd forgotten about it and seeing it again made me think how useful it is. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge this week.

  4. Lovely card Alicia. I love all the elements you have used to match that sketch. The popped up scalloped edge is a great touch and keeping it monochrome makes it very feminine. Thanks for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week. Tristan DT

  6. I have that stamp too!! I totally overuse it. I love the shabby / beachy chic feel of your card, makes me long for summer and walks on the beach collecting driftwood. Thanks for joining us over at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
