Yay! Today is Leap Year. A HUGE happy birthday to all of your poor people that have a birthday on 29th February. How unfair for you not being able to celebrate on your actual day each year, but I guess it makes those 4 year birthdays oh so special!
If any of you ladies are planning to go with tradition and ask your man to marry you then I hope he’s definitely a prince and not a frog lol
I know somebody that has a birthday today and wanted to make her a fun card to celebrate.
I was inspired by the Create: challenge to create a quilt inspired card. I wanted to make a patchwork type effect and added a bit of faux stitching. I dug out some very old paper by K & Co, BW Mira, I just love this colour combo pad, it’s so bright and cheery!
The stamps are by Paper Smooches, the #4 die is by PTI, the ‘x’ is by Sizzix, an old set called Ida Lou’s Flower Box.
I'm also entering this card into the Papercraft Star challenge to use a frog!
Hope you like it! Have a great day.
I will be back tomorrow with an elegant card for the new Play Date Cafe challenge.
Super adorable, Ruby! LOVE that patchwork background and your fabulous color combo! Plus, you know how much I adore Paper Smooches ;)! Come link this one up for Papercraft Star's Leap Year Challenge.
