A friend had triplets recently and I've been struggling with just the perfect, unique, totally adorable card with just the right touches. Well, I didn't exactly get what I had hoped, but I'd like to send it before they are celebrating their first birthday! I wanted to use the symbolism of 3 different images on the front for three unique babies, so I just happened to have three baby themed stamps from different sets that were circular in nature. I think it's the combination of all these that is giving me fits but I like the "idea" in gneral. Anyway, for inspiration I went to Kharmagirl's gallery since she was the Featured Stamper on Sunday (FS62) and this is the card that inspired me: FS60 Birthday Wishes!! by Kharmagirl at Splitcoaststampers. I felt mine was too busy to use the strips of paper for stems so I did paper piercing (which is my new favorite way to add stems). I also eliminated a few layers just because... then used three silver brads for more symbolism I guess. The ribbon through the slide is the newer chocolate twill that I hadn't used yet. I like that stuff! TFL!

So cute - I love the idea of three unique flowers for three unique babies. My friend's triplets turned 18 last week... Fun times ahead for your friend and her family!

OH my triplets... I have twins and that's more then enough. I love the 3 different circles with punched out scallops behind them. The purples with the cocoa are nice too. All girls?
