AnnaBelle Stamps Birthday Challenge #3
Hi,
Today is the third and final Birthday Challenge #3 at AnnaBelle Stamps. Today Patti and I are hosting the challenge which we are very excited about. What is today’s birthday challenge?
To make a card/project that has 2 of something starting with B.
(eg: 2 blooms, 2 buttons, 2 bows, 2 bling etc). Why the letter B? Because it stands for Birthday…and 2 because AnnaBelle Stamps is turning 2! Yay.
My inspiration for this card came from JayGee’s Nook Challenge #11 inspiration photo (where I was inspired by the yellow colour theme). I also loosely used the FTL#157 sketch.
So on my card I have two blooms and 2 bits of bling. I wanted to have 2 bows on the yellow twine down the bottom, but they just wouldn’t work for me – so as my hubby suggested, I have used 2 bits of thread – twice bound (ha!).
I very rarely use patterned paper…but I am proud to say that I cut into some for this card! I painted distress inks with water for the flowers. Piercing a border around the edge just framed it off nicely.
Supplies:
Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Whimsy Flowers“, AnnaBelle Stamps “Dotted Flowers” (sentiment)
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Distress Inks – Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw, Versacolor – Cyan, Narcissus
Card: Bazzill card – yellow, X-Press It blending card
Other Supplies: Kaisercraft Lilac Avenue Collection – Dandelion, Annabelle’s Sprinkles – 6mm Sultana, American Crafts clear embossing powder, heat gun, foam dimensionals, paint brush, Glossy Accents, sponge dauber, DMC Floss – mustard, Ranger Enamel Accents – black, Kaisercraft tags, Tim Holtz ruler, Making Memories paper piercer

Hi Marion – this is a beautiful card and beautiful colouring in. LOL at your husbands input – mine looks at them opens them up and says (everytime!) there is nothing on the inside – sometimes I will put something on the inside just to put him in his place!
Wow! what a gorgeous card Marion. Everything came together so perfectly. Thanks for playing along with us this month … Ange
