Stampin' Chez Moi

Although we don't own a sail boat, I love the idea of sailing away for a day and just enjoying the water and peacefulness that seems to go along with sailing :-) ~ my little birthday cards gives me a sense of peace and calm in the midst of the storms that we seem to be facing lately! I loosely followed the sketch from Match the Sketch (hope that's okay) and my favourite birthday site, Seize The Birthday challenge.

I needed a new Birthday card pronto, so I got to work this morning, found some challenges that I wanted to join and had a blast playing along! Seize The Birthday (Anything Goes), Freshly Made Sketches and a wonderful color challenge at IN(K)SPIRE me , is where my inspiration was birthed! there is still time to play, so why don't you join in the fun! Here's my birthday card ~ I actually don't own Blackberry Bliss or Lost Lagoon (shocking, I know), so I used rick Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay ~ hope that's okay!

I started with Color Throwdown , loosely followed the sketch from Sugar Pea Sketch 47 , found inspiration at The Card Concept and because this is a birthday card for a friend, I jumped in at Seize The Birthday !  Join in the fun and come create along with everyone!!! I used Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise on my Whisper White Panel ~ it's almost hard to see the white with all the stampin' & sponging that I did...but it's there!!! As I said previously ~ I very loosely followed this sketch ~ love the sketches found on this site!  My inspiration came from seeing so much going on in the photo, so I followed #5 ~ Free style Collage ~ lots of sponging a...
