Late Birthday!

I love to make cards... that is how I got started in paper crafting. They are quick to create.  I can create a few cards in an evening... but it takes me a lot longer to create a scrapbook page. My downfall with making cards is that I often forget to mail them... I make them up ahead of time and then the date completely passes and I forget to send them out.

Well in this case (I think because we were experiencing such nice weather),  I completely forgot the date and I missed my good friend's birthday. So this is the card I created for her with a huge apology attached!

This card was created using Stephanie Barnard's Stamps of Life Late4Bday Stamp Set. I love her stamp sets. If you are not familiar with her products check them out here. I stamped the turtle image twice on two different colours of cardstock and cut them out. I coloured the shell of the one turtle and pop dotted on top of the other turtle. I stamped the grass and flowers on green cardstock and then used a die cut to cut the oval. I layered all the pieces on a pre-embossed card (purchased from the local $ store) which I inked slightly with honey CTMH ink.

I hope you never have to send a late B-day card to your friend!
