This is my first ever ColourQ entry! I was looking for something to make for a birthday card for our teenage grandson and thought these wonderful colors would fit the bill. I had already pulled out four of them so added another blue and here is what I came up with!
I knew I wanted to use my new stamp set and dies from WPlus9. I had won Dawn's Berry set and dies at the last release and since I had been wanting to order her stamps for quite a while, I placed my first order. LOVE the stamps! They stamp so beautifully and the dies are the greatest. They came linked together but were super easy to snap apart! Now I am so anxious to make something with the berries!!
I cut the pocket out of Enchanted Evening cardstock, then used a stamp inked with London Fog ink to give the look of denim with a little texture. The stitching was stamped with Fresh Snow ink.The frog is from Jillibean Soup. I tried him on green paper first but liked how the details show better on white. The "a pocketful of Birthday wishes" is in the A Pocketful set. "Hey" was stamped using just part of a WMS sentiment. The "Just for you" came from the same WM set.
Best wishes to all on this Father's Day weekend!
Thanks for visiting,
SHARRON
