Good morning everyone!!! Today is a super special day in our family.....it's my mother's 91st birthday!! She wants to go to the library this morning and then we are taking Mom and Dad out for lunch. I sure hope I look as good as she does when I'm that age...she's one amazing lady!!! Anyway....I did a little stamping last night...the first card is an anniversary card for my son and his wife. The card is actually from a swap I went to last year...I left the sentiment layer blank so it would be ready for any occasion. I added the sewing at the top, the crocheted flower, and the seam binding along with the Verve sentiment from the Anniversary Birds set.
I had a piece of cupcake patterned paper from College Press sitting on my work table and I thought this sweet cupcake image from Impression Obsession would go perfectly...it was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with copics. Sewing was done around the background layers and lace, ribbon, wired twine, button, and pearls are the finishing touches.
Thanks for stopping by....hope you have a wonderful day!!!
