Birthday foliage

 Hi all, popping in this evening with a wee simple card, can't say it was quick though as I excel at faffing!!  I've been on a wee shopping trip to France (would have been even nicer in real life LOL) and bought this pretty little cover plate and stamps from Simply Graphic. I also caved in for a set of tags dies, but they're for another day.



I flipped the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #523

Seize the Birthday #233 - dichromatic (not a word I've ever heard before!). I went with pink and green.

Watercolour Wednesday #335 - it's their last challenge so had to play along 

Allsorts #663 - CAS with option of elegance

We're battening down the hatches here this evening for Storm Eunice due later.  It's all quiet at the minute though, there's barely even a rustle in the trees, you definitely wouldn't think there was a storm on the way!

What a lovely card you've made here Lynne. I used to love buying from Simply Graphic - but now it's just too expensive getting the products to me!

Thanks for sharing this terrific card with Allsorts this week. xxx

Love how you used that sketch, your colour scheme and the die background that looks like trellis. Thanks for joining us for our last challenge at Watercooler Wednesday. Tristan DT.

This card has to be one of my favorites! I love those potted plants against the pink die-cut. The other little embellishments also add so much to the sweetness of this card. I truly love it.
