Okay, so maybe it is a bit tacky to make yourself a birthday card. But really, the card isn't for me. It just happens to be a birthday card on my birthday. Nothing wrong with that, right?
The color combo comes from PCC's 14th color challenge and includes Cameo Coral, Ballet Blue, and Handsome Hunter. Of course, in a little over a month, all three of these will be retired. I guess I better use them while I can.
My favorite part of this card is its ribbon. I dyed it myself! It's amazing what a little reinker & some white ribbon can do. This is the first time trying to dye my own ribbon, but, now that I have, I know you'll be seeing more. It was such fun & so easy! I love finding new uses for my reinkers!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm sorry I'm so lame and didn't send you a card! What kind of up-line am I anyway? Yikes! I hope you have a GREAT day! Take care!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! And I love how you dyed your own ribbon... you always have a perfect match -- very clever!
