Birthday Wishes with Nature Walk

It's Wednesday and I am back today with a fantastic challenge from Stampin Royalty! I absolutely love Inspiration challenges and I was totally inspired by this weeks pictures. Be sure to check out the Design Team's samples for some awesome inspiration and please welcome our newest goddess Carrie Rhoades.

Here are this weeks photos to get your creative mojo going:

 and here's my card:

 A really good friend of mine just recently celebrated her birthday so I wanted to make her a very special card. I will admit, I do LOVE how it turned out:) The base of the card is Natural Ivory card stock and I embossed it with the Tulip Frame folder, then sponged the raised part with Whisper White Craft ink to create a soft wash.

I created the rectangle frame with the new Designer Frames Impressions Folder and then cut around the edges with my Paper Snips, and then cut out the center using a Craft Knife. I also sponged the out side edges of the frame lightly with Whisper White Craft Ink. If you look closely at the photo you can see the the bird image was stamped over with the script from French Foliage just to give a little more interest. The ribbon flower was create using Very Vanilla Seam Binding and I then put a Antique Brad through the Center. I put a piece of Soft Suede Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (My FAVOURITE type of ribbon) through the frame a tied it with a piece of Linen Thread, then attached the tag.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: French Foliage, Natures Walk, Tiny Tags

Ink: Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Early Espresso, River Rock and Crumb Cake

Paper: Naturals Ivory, Pool Party

Accessories: Big Shot, Designer Frames Folder, Framed Tulips Folder, Sponge, Wide Striped Soft Suede Ribbon, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Antique Brads, Linen Thread, Jewlery Tag Punch, Blender Pen, Craft Knife, Paper Snips

Have a great day and I hope you can join us this week at Stampin' Royalty!

This is beyond gorgeous! And just my type of card. I love everything about it. I'm sure your friend did, too.

Thanks for sharing!
