Thistle Birthday Wishes

Hello everyone,

Today's post is a pair of very pretty 'birthday' cards.

The card bases are The Paper Studio.  The printed paper is Glick WZ05 layered on Close To My Heart Thistle and Willow.  The sentiments are Stampin’ Up Birthday Blossoms stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on Recollections White and layered on more Thistle and Willow.  The embellishments are a glittered flower of unknown origin highlighted with Silver Stickles and Close To My Heart Spring Harmony ribbon.

This paper is actually wrapping paper that I found in a small paper boutique.  I just love the images and colours, and find it wonderful for crafting cards.  These cards are an example of using similar elements to craft two very different cards.  With different solid coordinating colours as well as the horizontal and vertical orientations, resulted in two very different cards that are both wonderful.  The results are just wonderful.

I hope you enjoy these cards and come back to SPI again.
