Lavenderliscious


This uneven bi-fold card is so easy to recreate by adding a solid accent strip, coordinating ribbon, a stamped watercolor floral image and birthday verse. I stuck to a simple, 2 color scheme of lavender lace and basic black. The floral is from the Stampin' Up!® level 2 hostess set, Echoes of Kindness. If you'd like to earn it by hostessing a workshop, contact me to find out how to do it. I created a tone on tone pattern using the floral pattern in the Sprinkles stamp set on the right hand fold. Birthday wishes greeting is from the Wow Flowers set. I will be demonstrating how to make this at my next workshop, which the focus is All About Flowers.

Here's to Longevity...it runs in the family!



I tease Dan, my husband, all the time about not getting rid of me anytime soon. You see longevity runs in the family on both parents’ sides. My grandpa Fred is in his mid 90's and his sister, Cecilia, just turned 90! So in honor of her SPECIAL birthday, I made this card for her.
It can be adapted for any special birthday.
