Birthday Cheers

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

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. There are some crazy storms hitting the US right now. We are expecting one later today, so I wanted to get this Blog post finished before any of it hits. 

It's a beautiful sunny and warm day right now. Although the winds have picked up. I had the windows in my bedroom open, and my African Violet plant blew over. It's a medium size plant in a heavy planter so I was surprised when I heard the noise. 

I have been asking my hubby to cut the plant back and separate the tubers for a smaller plant. It's just a bit large for my nightstand. And speaking of plants- my orchids are all in bloom and one of them is loaded with blossoms. I really like orchids, and I think they are relatively easy to care for. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #1049. We were to use  melon mambo, daffodil delight and coastal cabana for the color trio. Optional was a birthday theme.

melon mambo, daffodil delight, coastal cabana

I started my card with the designer paper. I used the Stampin' Up "artistry blooms" collection. I layered that over daffodil delight cardstock. The paper had two of the colors we were to use. 

My coconut tropical drinks are a die from CottageCutz. I cut the coconuts in pecan pie (neutral) and the other items in the challenge colors. For the drink umbrella, I ink blended the handle with coastal cabana to get a deeper color.

Added my Cheers phrase and a stamped sentiment in melon mambo ink. Scattered a few melon mambo enamel dots to complete the card. This one will go to my good friend. The tropical drink theme will be perfect for her. 

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