Pink & Green Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card I made for the 365 Cards challenge, "Tuesday Triplets" (yeah, I entered it late, but I'm not really going for the prizes so I guess it doesn't matter) Object of the challenge was to include 3 buttons, flowers, circles, and shades of green. I guess I actually have 7 circles in there; hope that doesn't matter! And of course I still don't have any stamps so I printed out a sheet of paper that said "happy birthday" in a bunch of fonts and then used my light box to help trace over one of them. You're probably wondering why I didn't just punch out the sheet that I printed. Well, it just felt... kind of like... cheating... I'm sure I'll give in some day.

I also submitted it to Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge. It's for "#36 - Pink & Green". I think I actually made it on time for the deadline too!

The cardstock is still that same paper pad from Walmart but the patterned paper is uhm... from some.. pack that I bought; the flowers are still that box of wedding throwy-things; the awesome punched stuff is from a couple more Fiskars punches that I got with my rewards card (I saw them at the store today and holy cow they are expensive), the buttons are actually some orange ones I bought in a pouch from Walmart, but I painted them pink. All my acrylic paints were left in Phoenix so I painted them with... nail polish. Yup. You can still see the orange too. First painted with pearly white, then pink, then coated with a shiny greenish paint. And I still used top coat paint on them, haha! (for protection!).

I totally effed up that ribbon and it's still bothering me.

I didn't make this card for anyone. I guess I'll send it to the next girl I know that has a birthday. I think I need to make more boy-cards.
