Another Birthday Card - Perfect Postage/Outlined Occasions.

Hi all,

Hope you've had a nice Easter weekend and you're not buried in chocolate Easter eggs! lol.

Today is one of my ladies' birthday, so I decided to work outside my comfort zone and play with Elegant Eggplant as the base cardstock as it's a colour I rarely use. Then I was thinking of tennis/Wimbledon, so have teamed it up with Pear Pizzazz for a purple and green combo, very unlike me.

So here's the card I made recently to celebrate an upcoming birthday:

Front


Stamps: Perfect Postage (Spring Mini Catalogue, P.20), Outlined Occasions (SAB 2012).
Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant and Very Vanilla.Accessories: Postage Punch (Spring Mini Catalogue, P.20), 1-3/8" Square Punch, Stampin' Write Markers - Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight, 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon - Pear Pizzazz, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Simply Scored, SU Bone Folder, Sticky Strip and Dimensionals.

After a successful class on Saturday, I decided to make another Cascade Card for a birthday.
