Michele's 50th Birthday Bash Blog Hop!!! (Giveaway)

Woo hoo!!!!  I am so honored to be on Michele's Team as a Girl Friday, she is absolutely one of the sweetest and funniest crafty ladies around.  I wish you the very best Birthday Michele with lots of fun, some relaxation, and loads of laughter!

If you are hoping along then you should have arrived here from the amazing Penny Ward's Blog, if not you can always start at the beginning. Now let's get onto my Birthday card that I created with Michele in mind...

hehehe!  I LOVE the Shenanigans set and especially this sentiment.  For my card I've used the Heartfelt Sayings Stamp Set to stamp two of the sentiments repeatedly onto my panel.  I then went over the panel with Distress Oxide Inks and added a few splashes of water.  While the panel dried, I head embossed my other sentiment from the Shenanigans Stamp Set with white embossing powder onto black cardstock.  I then trimmed this sentiment at each word and used foam adhesive to help make this the main focus of the card.  Since this card is fun and bright I adhered it at an angel over a black and white striped patterned paper.  As a final touch I adhered some black rhinestones to the stamped panel and added a staple to opposite corners.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today as we celebrate such a wonderful woman!  There are a few blog hop details too:
