Birthday inspired - You're Fabulous!



  
 
Hi friends!
 It's almost the weekend!  I hope you had a safe, warm week :)
I'll be venturing to the Biscayne Nature Center tomorrow
for my son's field trip to the Seagrass Adventure, picnic and more!
Which means I had to get crafty tonight!




I just adore The Alley Way Stamps.  When I first saw
this week's inspiration photo, my thoughts were "too fun!"
What a gorgeous photo ~ love that little pop of gold on the balloons.
 I decided to go in a different direction with my card
and make the sentiment from All About You the focal point.  I haven't embossed in forever and remembered I had some gold embossing powder.
I gave the card a black background and stamped snowflakes
from the Jolly Holiday set in coordinating colors with my SU! inks.
I wanted to play along with the CASE Study #173 this week
and used the sketch as my card design.
 Here are the two inspirations:
 

 
 I'll also enter this into the Art Impressions Challenge #125 -
Expect the Unexpected (Use something from your stash:
the stamps, the very old SU! inks!)
the Case Study Challenge 173 and
TAWS Be Inspired 45
Little Red Wagon - All Purpose Card

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
