Birthday card for my MIL

Happy Monday and yes, I am well aware that is an oxymoron. Haha! But I guess we should be thankful we have jobs to go to right? And hopefully everyone gets there safe, warm and dry. Ok, enough babbling. I have another Stamping Bella card for you today with another of my fav images, the ever lovely Lulu.

This is Lulus 2 Pies and although it is currently out of stock I do believe Emily will be getting it back in for you. So sorry to post an image that was out of stock. Papers are MME and I have made some felt roses. I have the worst time not getting tiny bits of glue on them when I roll them no matter how little glue I use, hence the stickles to cover it up a bit. The sentiment is on a chipboard base from MIC for a little depth on the card. Ok, don't forget about our current SCS challenge and the weekly one is "So Sweet", lots of images can be used for that!

Love how the background DP matches her dress - very clever. ... and those pies look good enough to eat!

Gorgeous coloring of that super-cute image.

I love the color scheme, the design, the patterned papers you used, and the touches of glitter.

I absolutely ADORE those felt roses that you made. Wow.

Love that color combo, Amanda! Such a cute image and the roses are wonderful. I really like them with the glitter on them. Your coloring is such a perfect match for your paper!

She's gorgeous! You and I have the same favorites from SB!!

Love your rolled roses. Are you using hot glue? I saw a great tip of using a heat gun on hot glue to melt those fly away strands!

Thought I'd pass it along :)

Don't ever feel bad about posting something that's out of stock (or even retired). Things come & go from stamps and supplies SO fast these days; our collections wouldn't have value for very long if we only restricted ourselves to currently available items. I always think that whether something is still available or not; you still get to see the "style" that a particular company uses. And even if it's something that's not available; you still get a feel for which companies you would like the products of. Ok, enough about my thoughts about unavailable or retired images though lol.

This is a really sweet card! I LOVE the colors!! The message tab is great too. And the rolled roses - awesome (with or without stickles lol!) I bet she loved this card!!

She is just charming and I love how her skirt matches your paper! Very sweet!
