I made this card earlier this month for a belated birthday celebration with a sweet friend whose birthday is just before Christmas. We were all so busy, we postponed celebrating until after the holidays in order to enjoy a long leisurely birthday lunch. I meant to post this sooner, but now happy I didn't as it fits the current JustRite challenge to create a card 'For The Love Of . . . we'd like to see what it is you love!'
First & foremost, I LOVE the sweet friends I've come to know through our love of paper crafting and this birthday girl is one! Another 'LOVE' of mine is JustRite stamps and their fabulous challenges! Next, I LOVE this little 6x6 Prima pad full of luscious coordinating papers. In fact, this card from JustRite's previous challenge uses the remainder of the brown paper my bottom layer here came from -- LOVE it when I can use the whole sheet. Another crafty friend who joins us for birthday
lunches used another sheet from my paper pad to finish off her card for our friend's birthday also and then purchased this paper for
herself -- always LOVE sharing the LOVE! How's that for a whole lotta LOVE?!
My JustRite greeting (Forever Friends) is layered on: Spellbinders' Labels Fourteen (topped with Nestabling), Heart Circles and a scalloped circle in Dark Chocolate CS (Papertrey Ink). My rosette (Tim Holtz die) sits atop layers of tulle cut with Spellbinders' Peony die and cream lace layered over Martha Stewart's 'Cloud' seam binding.
