After making so many cards this weekend, I had meant to take a break, but it seems I am having a little bit of a cardmaking hangover… Saw this Tuesday Trigger at the Moxie Fab World and I just had to make a card…
Its a birthday card this time, a quick hybrid card,
I simply adored the color scheme in the skirt and used that as my base here. I started this card in photoshop, and printed out the background and sentiment onto cardstock andt trimmed to size.
I then used a border punch on the card and added a tiny twine bow. Done. 
(to adhere the tiny twine bow, I used a mini glue dot cut in half)
We in Minnesota have gone overnite from winter/spring weather to humid, sweltering hot summer… We had thunderstorms today, unbelievable clouds and dramatic sunlight. Here are a few photos my husband took,
Nature sure is amazingly beautiful, isnt it?
Supplies used: Software: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Sentiment: In the making (www.jessicasprague.com) Border punch: Fiskars Twine: Jillibean soup
