Woo hoo!! Happy Birthday Claire!! (Not me.. Claire Brennan!) What better way to celebrate Claire's birthday than with a blog hop, if you missed the start of the blog hop head for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog for the full list of links. You should have arrived here from Edna's blog. This is fun, I love surprises!! I hope you like the card Claire, it's in the post, so you should have it physically in your hands soon! : )
Some of the details, I used Spellbinders Labels 4 and teamed it up with Very Vintage Labels No.4 from Waltzingmouse Stamps. There's a wee bit of Text-It peeping through there, along with that gorgeous border from Victorian Frippery. The sentiment is from Teeny Trees also from Waltzingmouse Stamps.
I added a fabulous crochet flower with separate leaves from Annie Design (made in Ireland!) at Etsy, I have a serious addiction, she makes gorgeous crochet hearts too, so cute! I added the bit of twine.
The lovely green dotty paper is from the Sugar Blossom Paper Pack by Quirky Twerp at The Digichick. It is the most perfect shade of spring green, I love it! Oh and one more thing, on the inside...
.... because you are Claire! You are so inspiring, you've created an amazing stamp company, that's blossoming beautifully, your designs never cease to amaze me AND you're such a lovely person!! Thanks so much for having me as a Mischief Maker, I truly enjoy every minute of it!! Working with your stamps is such a pleasure! SO Claire, have a FABULOUS birthday, you deserve it!! : ) I hope there's cake.... and rice crispy buns, it's not really a party without rice crispy buns!!
