Birthday Dots

Hello blogging friends! It's been a few weeks since I've been able to create anything. February was a tough month for me. As many of you know, I've been having some health issues and I've been trying to focus on improving my health but, I ended up back in the hospital again. So, if you would say a prayer for me, I would appreciate it.

I have the next few days off from work and I decided to play along in a few challenges with a card that is fairly clean and simple for me.

First challenge is the B is for Birthday Verve Diva Inspirations Challenge

I was inspired by the polka dots in the background, the shades of pink, coral, and green and the black stripes.

From Verve Stamps I used On Occasion and Occasion Frame Die.

To create my background, I used the Texture Mini Dots stencil from Memory Box with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Bundled Sage, and Spiced Marmalade.

Other challenges that inspired my card:

 

 Aud Sentiments Challenge : use a 'two-word' sentiment: Birthday Blessings

FHL Throw-Back Thursday: use a retired stamp or one that is a least a year old: On Occasion is from 2013

Moving Along with the Times: three in a row bingo: die, image, gems

Seize the Birthday: focus on the sentiment

It feels so good to be getting back on track with my crafting. Thanks for stopping by. God Bless...
