Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog this first Sunday in March.
It's a beautiful sunny but cold day here in Pittsburgh. I have noticed that when we have these sunny days our sunsets are so majestic. I will be looking for one of those tonight.
Hope your Sunday is going well. Mine started off with church and our Pastor delivered a great message at service. Now I am home and enjoying a quiet Sunday.
My card for today is one that I created for the color challenge #935 on Splitcoaststampers. We were to use rich razzleberry, fresh freesia and evening evergreen for the color trio. Optional is dry embossing.

| fresh freesia, rich razzleberry, evening evergreen |
I started my card by dry embossing the fresh freesia cardstock with the Leaf Bundle 3d folder from Simon Says Stamp. Then I started building my card.
I stamped and die cut the peony image and colored with Stampin' Up Blends (Alcohol markers). The peony image is from the "Prized Peony" stamp set from Stampin' Up. I used the Botanical Garden 2 die from CottageCutz to cut out the other greenery.
My birthday phrase is another die from CottageCutz. It's the Happy Birthday w/Shadow die. Finished off this card with a few evening evergreen opal rounds.
I really liked how this card turned out. I will send it to someone special on their birthday. Just not sure who that will be as yet.
And that's it for me for this post. So, until next time........God bless.
