Vicki's (5x7) 2023 Birthday Card

 I was able to see my sister right before her birthday so....

I couldn't resist making her another birthday card,

once I discovered these tiny potted plants & garden tools by The Dusty Attic!

They are BEYOND PRECIOUS!!!!!!!

My sister LOVES plants and she has a GREEN thumb to prove it!

Her home patio is gorgeously filled with all sorts of colorful 

flowers and plants and garden accessories...

it's DREAMY!

I made her card in a 5x7 size to try to fit as many garden elements as possible.

I used both embossing powders & inks in an array of colors for a springtime look. 

These tiny chipboard pieces are ultra-delicate!

Here are close ups of the front of the card.

Aren't these outlined bees the cutest?!

Yellow cardstock was cut out and glued under their bodies.

You have to admit this wheelbarrow & little garden tools are to die for!

Flower Soft and Bling added a little extra.

The Garden Gloves & Boots are too cute!

I also made a slightly larger sized envelope (5-1/4" x 7-1/5")

to fit the bulky card inside.

The inside sentiment is made using Dusty Attic chipboard letters

 and ReneaBouquets Beautiful Board from the 'Beautiful Memories' set.

Isn't this Bee Hive from ReneaBouquets so precious?!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you're having a wonderful Spring!

Sybil's Happy Views

 We had Sybil for a very short 1-1/2 years. 

She passed away from heart failure at the approximate age of 7. 

I'm happy that we were able to adopt her 

and give her the best year & a half of her life.

This new, gorgeous collection from 49 and Market 

is called Color Swatch Inkwell.

I thought Sybil looked lovely on this paper!

I used 6x8 mini paper, Rub Ons, Acetate Leaves and Laser Cut Elements 

from the collection, to lightly decorate the stunning main page.

This Rub On helped give my page its title.

Laser cut florals combined with mulberry flowers made some nice arrangements.

The acetate leaves are really very pretty!

I LOVE moths!

The laser cut moths in this collection are so beautiful!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day,

Lisa
