Stylish Tea

Hello, again!  My second post of the day, with a card using the sketch at Seize the Birthday (http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/).  It's also for the SU-Only Challenge to use your favorite retiring stamp set (http://suochallenges.com/).

I ended up using two retiring stamp sets, Elements of Style and Curly Cute.  Elements of Style is such a classy and classic floral image, and I love the flourished fonts in Curly Cute.

I decided to use Tea for Two designer paper and carry forward the colors used in the floral images onto my stamped image.  I used my Island Indigo reinker and a blender pen to color the roses, with a touch of So Saffron in the flower centers and Lucky Limeade for the stems and leaves.

Since I didn't have much room but for the small sentiment on the front of the card, the Happy Birthday sentiment was added to the interior:

Here's the STB sketch:

Well, it's time to take a break from blog posting and maybe go read a book (or make another card?).  Thanks again for visiting my blog and I'd love to hear from you if you have a moment to leave a comment.

Hugs,

Stef
