Oh, Sheri! I cannot thank you enough for choosing green in your beautiful duo colors for Color Hues #141! Flowers are often my favorite, and it's tough to do flowers without green! lol
I had a birthday card to make for my daughter who is 49 tomorrow! How did this happen??? Aren't I only 45?? Okay, maybe not... but this one will be appreciated when she gets home from a fabulous trip to NYC with her family!
Inside: make that CHEERS for many many more happy, healthy years!
I'm sure Penny Black won't mind my turning their
Winter Berry Branch into 'grapes.' SB Stylish Ovals for the aperture,
SU! Exposed Brick for the top embossing and the sentiment is from
Penny Black's Joy and Warmth set. The background was stamped with
a set from W+9's Vintage Ephemera - no longer available...sorry!
The Stamp Market's MOSSY ink gave me the artichoke I was looking for along with Villainous Potion for my grapes!
I also borrowed Jill Foster's wonderful sketch from her recent Easy Christmas Card
series on Penny Black's YouTube channel!
with so many things! Thanks, Jill!
I'll be sharing this card with Penny Black on Saturday Challenge, too!
I used the optional use of a die!
It was so much fun to do a little water coloring today!

I do love that soft smokey green. A beautiful card for your beautiful daughter xx
What a beautiful and creative combo of die cuts, stamping, and embossing. How perfect the background stamping is with the sentiment, which is clever to use for a birthday. My son is 50. I don't know how that happened either.
This is beautiful! The sprig alone is gorgeous, but your background features really kick this up! Your daughter will love it!
Beautiful card for your daughter's birthday. Love all the elements you put together to make it. I think the Winter Berries look perfect as purple grapes.
I thought I recognized that sketch...what would we do without Jill?! Your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele and I'm so glad we had green this time around...you've made the color pairing totally SHINE with this lovely, lovely card for your daughter!! She's going to LOVE it...I sure do! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues...you know we always love seeing your creations in the gallery!! Hugs. :0)
Happy 49th to your daughter! She's going to love this pretty card, I sure do!
This is a beauty and very clever. Your daughter will love this. My baby turns 49 this year and I too, do not know how this happened LOL! Thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! 💕 Sue Kment
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Jill, for sharing a fabulous sketch for YOU! An absolutely gorgeous card for your daughter. Berries into grapes? Who knew? YOU!
