Happy birthday Mom!

Today is my Mom's birthday so I'd like to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

In keeping with the theme of birthday, I'd like to share two cards I made using the newest release of Shady Tree Studios stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms.

This first card uses the "Large Floral Vase" stamp. I paper pieced this stamp using the new Basic Grey Marrakesh papers.

The second card is a small note card that uses the new "Perfect Poppies" stamp. I also paper pieced on this card. As you can see in addition to colouring, these stamps lend themselves very well to this technique. Again I used the new Basic Grey Marrakesh papers.

You can see more of the designer samples in the Shady Tree Studio gallery.
