Welcome to a new sketch over at STAMPlorations. This is what she looks like. Harmless, right?
Leslie, of The Crooked Stamper (great blog name, eh?) is guest designing with us this time around and she has a really fun design over on the blog. As do my teamies. Have a looksee.
Here's my card. Make that "cardS".
So ever since my family's "161" party back in September, I've had combo birthdays on the brain. Saturday we were invited to a party for a couple, both of whom turned 50 this year. Thus my "celebrate 100" card.
And, well, my folks have birthdays within two weeks of each other and are sharing a present this year (we're sending them to see Michael Grimm who won America's Got Talent back in 2010 - sure hope they enjoy it. Tangent.) So they're sharing a card too. Celebrating 173. Those are the words "one, seven, three" stamped on the BG of this one. Blows my mind that the four of us plus Ellie plus our anniversary added up to "161", and the they are celebrating "173" with birthdays alone!
Had some fun with heat embossing and watercoloring on these cards. Used a line stamp, curved and stamped twice to create a stem for the beautiful daisy from Bloom Sketches.
Nice sketch. Easy sketch. Give it a go. Don't forget, there are prizes to be had ;) And there's a never-ending Anything Goes challenge too if you use STAMPlorations stamps!

Fabulous embossing - from the white flowers to the golden yellow sentiment!
Love that white embossed daisy! The second card is my fave - 'cause the sentiment stands out more in white.
So so pretty!!
These are so bright and cheerful, and I love the age backgrounds!
These are so beautiful, Maria! I love the soft colors and the vellum, so light an airy! Lovely!
You are SO funny! I do love the 100 card - and can see all sorts of combinations now that you've pointed this out! Hilarious!
The flower is beautiful - nice work!!

I'm sure they'll appreciate this lovely card. It's so bright and cheerful, which can be a hard feat to accomplish with colors that lean to the pastel side. Great work!
