A Special Day ~ ABNH #27, STB; DD #61; FMS #94; MFW; SSS

Hi!  Howdy!  Hello!

Aaaccckkk!  Until about an hour ago, I had totally forgotten that I wanted to make sure I played in the current A Blog Named Hero (ABNH) challenge where the challenge is to use a favorite Hero Arts stamp.  I have so many, but this is my all-time favorite! 

 

So there will be no NBUS on this post today, because both my stamps are old-timers and well-loved!  Sort of like me. 

 

Here we go:

 

Since my card is a birthday card, I'm also entering it in the current Seize The Birthday (STB) challenge where the theme is "Anything Goes!"

 

 

 

 and in the current Birthday Card Challenge at Moxie Fab World (MFW).

 

 

For my colors I am using the current Dynamic Duos (DD) challenge, where the colors are pink pirouette and sahara sand. 

 

 

For my sketch, I am using the current Freshly Made Sketches (FMS) challenge. 

 

 

For my finishing touches, I am using the current Simon Says Stamp (SSS) challenge where the theme is "Pin It!"

 

As always many of these challenges have fantastic sponsors and prizes.  To shorten my post, I ask that you visit the links for all the details and to join in the fun!!

Wiping my brow, I give you my card:

 

 

I know so many of you have loved and used this hydrangea stamp which in my world will never go out of style!  Using black embossing powder, I heat embossed the image onto vellum.  The vellum was colored on the back side using SU! markers and attached to the pink pirouette mat, which was then attached to the sahara sand card base.  I added glitter accents to the blossom centers, which are hard to see.

Chow for now!  Someone check the book and see if this is my shortest post EVER!  Gotta dash!  Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS*!

 

Thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse.  Special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! 

ETA:  Since I rarely link more than two or three challenges, and I was in a hurry, I didn't check the challenge rules before I published.  I am not eligible for any recognition at Freshly Made Sketches, because entries are only allowed to link up to three other challenges.
