Lemonade Birthday Card


The forcast this weekend----Tropical weather in Kentucky! Tall cold glass of lemonade, out on the veranda, anyone? My porch will have to do... You choose-front porch, we'll watch the kids on the tree swing. Back porch, we'll watch the goats play on the hillside. Either way, we'll have the company of the chickens. Oh, and don't forget the cookies!
My Card base is 4 in X 5 1/2 in. I used DCWV Flower Shower Stack and Glitter Stack. I cut out the green layer about 2 1/2 in tall and the gingam layer about 1 1/2 in tall. I inked around the edges and doodled around the card. Use the citrusy ribbon to hide the seam. Using Just Because Cards cardridge, I cut the glass out of Vellum twice. The glittery lemonade didn't show very well so I cut the bottom of the glass out so you could see the drink. I then popped it on the card. I cut out happy birthday from A Child's Year in yellow then orange, the orange slightly larger to act as a shadow. I used my gypsy to layout and cut each part. Thanks for stopping by and have a great, sunny weekend!!!
