Great Impressions Stamps–They Say It’s Your Birthday

Hello!  Happy Monday!   Today I am sharing a birthday card made with Great Impressions Stamps.  I made this card for a co-worker’s birthday.

 

2013-07-21 GI Bike Birthday WM

 

Did you  have a good weekend?   We went to Fest Italiana in Milwaukee in the late afternoon.  It was beautiful down by the lake.  Once we were there, we saw that Matt Nathanson and the Plain White T’s were playing at one of the stages.  Bonus!  Matt Nathanson put on a great show.  PWT’s were okay.  They sounded a lot better than I expected.

Well, I hope you have a fabulous week!  Thank you for stopping by!

This is a wonderful card and all the detail is over the top. I think the coloring is lovely and I really like the dp you used for all those layers and I think the bow with the bakers twine is my fav.
