Time for another birthday card for DD#1 - I started my gallery with a card I made for her birthday!
So glad I ordered another package of the SU Parisian Breeze designer paper - now I don't feel I have to hoard my first package! I based this card on a card by Laura F. (scrapnextras). Here is her card: Stems window box frame. I pretty much flipped it upside-down and went from there.
Cut three successively smaller squares, lined them up and punched the middle with a 1.5" circle punch. The Verve sentiment is embossed in a pearlescent blue and punched with a 1 3/8" circle punch and popped up in the centre. The swirl in the top corner is a Sizzlets die that I ran through my Cuttlebug. Finally used some of the Chocolate Chip ribbon I got ages ago. I used Swiss Dots on the Choc Chip layer, sponged edges with Basic Brown. A few dollar store pearls to dress things up and it's ready to deliver...

What a fabulous card this just happens to be. I love the paper and your sponging. I'm totally amazed at your creative genius to stamp that flourish onto the paper. Beautiful card.

Another great card. I LOVE that dsp, but haven't gotten any yet. The sponging looks great on your card and the die cut swirl and, of course, always the punches! Your daughter will love her card. TFS!
