Bright and Flowery Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Popping in to let you know that I am still around. Just in the middle of the end-of-year/holiday madness. Although I don't have a holiday card for you but a birthday card with bright flowers to cheer you up if the weather is grey wherever you are. We had our first snow yesterday after a super mild and sunny Saturday.





Stamps: Simon Says Stamp (flowers), Happy Little Stamper (sentiment)
Die: Memory Box (birdie)
Other: Faber Castell Polychromos pencils


Challenges (click on the links for more information and lots of inspiration from the DTs and the galleries):

CAS Mix Up November "Masking"
The flowers are masked, stamped, plus there is fussy cutting, and die cutting








Seize the Birthday - no topping







Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating!

Be well,

Diese leuchtenden Farben können wir z.Zt. gut gebrauchen, der November erdrückt uns mit seinem grau ... *grummel*
Wunderschön gestaltet ist Deine Karte und der kleine Vogel ist ein ganz lieber Eyecatcher.

Bright and cheerful flowers Susanne. Nice to see these colours on a dreary day ... yes, it's pouring in Vancouver (I know that's such a shock!). :) The bright yellow polka dot border is sweet! Fantastic job of masking. Thanks so much for sharing at CAS Mix Up! xx

Hi Suzanne, It IS a very busy time of year, and I enjoyed seeing this colorful and light & airy floral card. It is cheery on a gray day, and is sure to brighten the spirits of whomever is lucky enough to open it! Great work on the design placement too. TFS

Great to see you posting, Susanne, and I love your bright and cheery birthday card! It's a nice switch-up from the fall and Christmas cards all over Blogland! I wish you and your menfolk a Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Enjoy the snow!! Hugs, Darnell

Quelle superbe carte avec ces couleurs bien lumineuses ! Ton coloriage est superbement bien nuancé ! J'adore et je retiens l'idée ! Comme tu dis, ça fait du bien de voir de belles couleurs alors que dehors tout est gris et triste (du moins ici !). Quelle chance vous avez d'avoir de la neige, c'est un rêve que nous faisons tous les ans....pourvu qu'il neige pour Noël, cela le rend encore plus magique ! Joyeux Thanksgiving ! Bises

Running late in comments, but the timing is perfect as your pretty, bright flowers have cheered me up immensely! The polka-dot strip and wee bird are such a delightful touch! Hope you're doing a-okay in the midst of the hub-bub of the season!
