Eye Chart Birthday

I love the stamps from Technique Tuesday and have been wanting to make a card using this stamp for some time but could not come up with an idea.  So I pulled out some supplies this morning and started playing with them and before I knew it I had my card! It isn't really what Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea would call a "self assembling" card because I did have a bit of inspiration from two new challenge blogs, one for the colors and the other for the sketch. So be sure to check out both of these blogs, they are so fabulous and an amazing group of talented ladies organize these wonderful challenges. Thanks for taking a peek!


Here is the first blog I was talking about, this one is for colors - Dynamic Duos
and here is the second blog, this one is for sketches - Retro Sketches

Ingredients
Solid Card Stock: PTI - Spring Rain and White and SU - not sure of the color
Stamp: Technique Tuesday - Birthday Eye Chart
Buttons: PTI - Harvest Gold
Ribbon: PTI - Spring Rain

  5. Such a great card. I love that stamp! I got one almost just like it a while back, and have yet to use it. I will pin this one to case! These are two great challenges, that you have combined. You have been such a busy gal.
