Floral Birthday

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

It's been a good weekend. We went to a graduation party yesterday for one of our neighbor's sons. I can't believe he is all grown up now.

 

He and a few other kids used to come in the summer and ring our doorbell and then run. You know the things kids think are funny. When we asked them about it a funny thing happened. They stopped doing it. I guess since they were found out it was no fun anymore. 

Anyway, it was a day to honor him for all his high school accomplishments and for his acceptance into college this fall. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #953 on Splitcoaststampers. We were to use sweet sorbet, azure afternoon and balmy blue for the color trio. Optional was to use your favorite green. I chose granny apple green.

My card is using an older Stampin' Up set- Bloom by Bloom. This is the first inking of this set. This one was inspired by a card Magie Etampes that I saw on Pinterest. She used a totally different color palette.

I don't have sweet sorbet ink, so I used watermelon wonder. It's a very close match. I used azure afternoon to stamp the dots. I ink blended the corner of the image panel and then the corner of the card base with tumbled glass distress ink. It a nice match for balmy blue.

I added a sweet sorbet layer to my image panel. Die cut the birthday sentiment in sweet sorbet and white cardstocks to complete my card.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.....God bless.
