Happy Birthday Nonni !!

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Nonni
Happy birthday to you!!!


Today is Nonni's birthday and to make her day very special Sandie of London Days master minded this birthday party for her. Nonni and I worked together as a team at ATSM but then she decided to step down. Luckily, I am again working with this lovely lady in the STAMPlorations Design team. She is an adorable person and an awesome crafter. And on this special day, I wish all the love and happiness for her :)
You too can join the party and link up ur projects at HERE !

Hope u will like my card Nonni :)

I am entering this to a few challenges as they were my source of inspiration -
2. Try Stamping on a Tuesday #181 - Sketch (I took a little liberty with this sketch)
 
To make the card, I heat embossed the beautiful flower from STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches set in clear on a water color card stock, fuzzy cut it and then colored it with distress inks using them as water color medium. Next, I framed it on a blue card stock and did some sponging through the stencil to create a hexagon background and adhered the panel over the card base with some foam dots :) The stamping of the sentiment finished my card. Also, linking this up at Simon Says Monday challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy birthday Nonni and thank you Sandie for organizing this lovely party for her :)

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

Supplies used - Inks Distress Chipped Sapphire, Peacock feathers, Worn lipstick, Versafine Blue Lagoon, Versamark; Stamp - STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches, Holiday Artsy for sentiment; Tim Holtz Water color paper; Whisper Clear embossing powder; Crafter Companion Mini punchinella stencil
