Ahhhh, nothing like a short week after a long weekend. It's like the icing on an already delicious cake. (Mmmmm, cake....) We had ribs and beans and potato salad yesterday. What did you have?
Today's card features more stamps from the Morning Cup stamp set. I just love that set because it's another one you can use for just about any occasion. I had to fudge a little and use a couple of words from the Birthday Bakery Level One Hostess set. See the words "you are" right above the matted greeting? Those are in the hostess set on the stamp that says "if you are what you eat, eat something cute!" I inked just the words I needed with a Stampin' Write Marker.
THIS is the card I used for inspiration.

Today's card goes out to a special lady who is undergoing treatment for cancer. I used the Aviary set again, because it can work for almost any occasion - from birthday to thank you, from humorous to a sympathy card. For an amusing card, you could do one cage with the bird inside and the others with the birds outside, with a funny greeting ("What are you waiting for?!"). An empty cage would make a good "miss you" or sympathy card. Like I said, this is a very versatile stamp set!

We have a lot of birthdays coming up, so I've been on birthday card making mode. I haven't decided who this one is going to. (That's just in case one of my family members is peeking, lol.)
The image was spritzed with Frost White Shimmer mist to five the butterfly a glimmer.
