Simple Birthday Card


Flourishes is having a birthday party for their designer, Christine Okken.  
Decided to take a break from holiday cards to play along. Took awhile to figure out what to do, but in the end I went back to one of my favorite sets called Fanciful Flourishes.  The image was stamped in a row using VersaMagic Aegean Blue. Lucked out with this  blue shimmer cardstock being a great match for the scalloped mat die cut with Spellbinders edge die. I love the look of this elegant sentiment which is from the same set & is stamped in Memento Gray Flannel. The panel is mounted with foam tape & pearls finish off the card.  
Happy Birthday week, Christine!
I'm also entering the challenge at Simon Says Stamp, Monday. Thank you all for stopping by.

    The only thing "simple" about your card, Greta, is that it's simply (and completely) beautiful1 the colours, images, layout - striking and eye-catching. Pretty, plus! Christine will be thrilled with this! Hugs to you,
