Mixed Bunch Birthday

When I sit down to create a card, I always try to make two of the same card.  I have all my supplies out and at hand, so it's just as easy to put together two as it is to make only one.  When I made this card, I actually ended up making three of the same design and changed out the sentiments to fit different occasions.  This birthday card was made for a fellow colleague who recently celebrated a birthday.  It features a single flower from the Mixed Bunch set and a smart button-tied center.  I like the results and I hope you do too!

All supplies are Stampin' Up!, unless otherwise noted:

Stamps:  Mixed Bunch, Funky Four, Fabulous Phrases
Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limemade, Very Vanilla card stock; First Edition DSP, DSP Patterns Stack Brights Collection
Ink:  Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Black
Tools:  Blossom Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Blossom Petals XL Punch, 3/16" Corner Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Extras:  Black button (my button jar), Linen Thread, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

PPA132 Color Challenge

It's time for a new Color Challenge (PPA132) at Pals Paper Arts again!  Our color combo for this challenge is the Springtime trio of Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip!  When I see these three colors together, I'm reminded of chocolate bunnies or Easter eggs decorated with dainty sugar flowers! 

I have no chocolate bunnies or eggs to offer today, but my Easter-themed tote looks as if it's made of chocolate!  It's embellished with sweet pink flowers to herald the arrival of Spring and/or Easter and it easily holds five to six plastic eggs or other assorted treats!  Adapt it for any occasion by simply changing out the sentiment!  I like the way it turned out!  Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment below!
