Mornin' folks!
Can I just say that I'm glad it is Sunday? Yesterday is done and gone and I plan on relaxing a bit today because I need it. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. :)
Quickly, quickly, this is a card that I actually made for the ATS review preview and I'm just now getting it up to share here. I used the super sweet Swiss Pixie Birthday Lucy and paired her up with these Picadilly papers by Basic Grey. There is something about these new Pixies that has me reaching for a more homespun/shabby chic type paper when putting a card together for them... not sure why that is but they just look so cute in the more muted color palettes.
And see that ruffle down there? I was feeling extra crafty and decided to pink the edge of some white tissue paper then ruffle it across the card. I think it turned out kinda cute and I love how the tissue ties back to the actual gifts one would be opening on their big day. Ahhh, torn wrapping paper and tissue strewn about the floor... a sure sign of a very good birthday indeed! ;)
Alrighty, even though I would like nothing more than to go relax first I've got to tackle a couple of tasks on my to-do list. Wish me luck in that endeavor, I'm just not feeling very motivated so far.
Hugs!
