Your Days Will Be Many


Hi there blog friends!  Hoping your Sunday is a glorious one.  I’ve gone a little bit bold today . . .  for a bold friend.  Someone close to me is having a birthday, one of my girlfriends, who is just a hoot!  So I changed up a little bit to go with some power colors for a birthday card for her.    As it were, working with some of the new Spellbinders, this Damask keeps floating to the top – it was designed by my sweet friend Laura Campbell, and I just love it.  I paired it up with a new sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Birthday Blessings.


I took one of the damask die templates (Spellbinders™ S5-081 Damask Motifs), cut it four times and assembled it into a medallion.  On top of that I popped up Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles and Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM.  On the edge I used some lace, Spellbinders™ E8-007 Classic Edges, Spellbinders™ Classic Bracket Edgeablities and Spellbinders™ E-010 Classic Decorative Inserts, topping it off with the border from Spellbinders™ S5-080 Damask Accents set. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs, Birthday Blessings.
Paper: The Paper Company, Neenah Classic Crest Cream
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ S5-081 Damask Motifs,  Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM,  Spellbinders™ E8-007 Classic Edges, Spellbinders™ Classic Bracket Edgeablities, Spellbinders™ E-010 Classic Decorative Inserts, Spellbinders™ S5-080 Damask Accents, seam binding, clear embossing powder, lace

That’s it for me today, short and sweet!  Don’t forget to weigh in on the blog candy I currently have going on.  Up for grabs, some luscious double sided Prima paper – simply pop over to this post – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/the-best-of-both-blog-candy/. Smooches, y’all!  I’ll see you soon!!
