We had about 9 inches of snow over the weekend. I don’t mind winter, but I will admit I am already looking towards spring. So, another floral card. 🙂
Supplies: Stamps – Stampin’ Up!, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster, inks – Lawn Fawn Merman, Sunflower, Simon Says Stamp Blue Violet, VersaFine Onyx Black, die – Spellbinders, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear, organdy ribbon – Offray.
Offspring3 requested the card on the right for a little friend.
For the balloon strings, I separated a piece of embroidery floss into the 6 individual strands, and used a needle to “sew” them through the paper (and back to the front again) to tie around the elephant’s trunk.
The most difficult time was getting the “feliz cumpleaños” sentiment straight. Each word is an individual stamp (Hero Arts). With them being different fonts, even with the MISTI (and multiple grid template options to line them up!) it took me more than 5 tries to be satisfied.

Offspring3 gave me this pretzel die for my birthday, I finally pulled it out to use it (Sorry! She knows I love it!).
I started with mustard colored card stock, and blended 3 colors of Distress Ink on that. I was pleased with the result. I used a Signo Gel Pen to make the white salt crystals.
You know I LOVE pretzels…
