Krafty Birthday

It's Sunday morning here and I finally managed to get a card made.  My Saturday afternoon is my usual stamping time, but I spent the time yesterday cataloging all the stamps I've bought since 2011.  Whenever I buy a set, I photocopy the image sheet and write on the copy the price and which category it belongs to, then file it in a binder.  Well for the last two years, I'd been doing the photocopying like a good little girl, but hadn't been finishing the job!  So yesterday, I categorised 222 Stampin' Up sets and about 40 non-SU sets.

Anyway, on to today's card.  This uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  I found these gorgeous paper flowers and matching strips at a big discount store yesterday and just had to use them today.  I really, really wanted to distress and grunge up the card a bit, but that doesn't fit with the FMS concept, so I kept it clean.

These layers really look crooked, but trust me, it's because the embossing folder on the card base is on an angle (designed that way!).  But it really bugs me, so I might have to re-make this without the embossing.

The bottom layer has the Music Notes wheel rolled across the top and bottom in Crumb Cake ink and the top layer has the sentiment embossed in Cherry Cobbler.

Thanks for looking.
