Poetic Petals, Harvest Hues, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a birthday card to share with you using the "Harvest Hues" ephemera. I made two using the same design. My husband has twin sisters and these are for their birthday. They are identical twins and when we were dating I had trouble telling them apart. They are 17 years older than he is and one of the twins had identical twins. So now I had 4 people to figure out who is who. Then I meet his twin cousins, his aunt (his mother's sister) had twins. Now there's 6 people I to figure out and I couldn't keep straight who is who. As the years passed I can tell his sisters and nieces apart but I still have problems with the cousins!  And humorously I sort of got him back, I have triplets on my side! LOL Now that you know a bit of backstory on my life, let's move on to how today's card was made. 

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

Using the "Perennial Postage" dies I cut the second largest one for the layer. Before taping the layer down I lightly scrubbed on some Crushed Curry ink around the outer edge of the card base and then scrubbed the center of the die cut piece with more ink. 

I laid the stickers in place so I could see where to stamp the words. The words are from the "Poetic Petals" bundle and were stamped using Basic Black ink. I taped the layer to the card base.

I set the stickers in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I think the sticker choices formed a nice birthday card for my sister-in-laws.  They don't read my blog so I can tell you what their presents are. A friend of mine makes the most beautiful quilts and we bought two from her.  Actually we bought three, I had to have one too! I'm so spoiled. LOL

Thank you so very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
