~Birthday Wishes~

 

Happy Monday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. My cold is on the downside, I think. I woke up feeling not too bad and that was most of the day. I was even able to get in a little crafting. That's how I judge where I am at with the sickness level (lol)!!!

 

My hubby had a ticket for the Pitt basketball game tonight. They were playing Duke and he said it was the best match-up of this year. So even though he is still not feeling well, he went to the game.

 

It was a sellout at the Petersen Center and as I watched the game on TV I could see the place was jumping with excitement. But, to no avail because we lost 80-65.

 

He had great a great seat and brought me a tee-shirt they were giving away as a freebie. He is home now and all comfy under a blanket watching tv.

 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #461 on Splitcoaststampers. Vicki was our hostess and she chose the color palette of  tempting turquoise, coastal cabana and crisp cantaloupe. She loves her shades of blue for sure.

 

On the coastal cabana cardstock, I layered designer paper from the Stampin-Up "afternoon picnic" collection and on the other half I used the Stampin-Up background stamp “weathered”. I stamped in coastal cabana ink. I added kraft ribbon between these 2 panels.

My daisy is cut from the Stampin-Up daisy #2 die in cantaloupe. I sponged with cantaloupe ink before removing from die.  My birthday wishes frame is cut with the Spellbinders die labels 2.

The sentiment is from the Stampin-Up set “sincere salutations” and stamped in turquoise ink. I added 3 Stampin-Up candy dots in turquoise to complete my card.

 

My inspiration for this card came from this card from Darleen Adamo. I had it saved to my faves for a while.  I changed the colors and used a different flower die. 

 

Well, that's it for me for today. Time to dim the lights in Charmed Life Land for another day. Thank you to all my blog readers and followers. Your support means a lot to me. Until next time.........God bless.
