Happy Birthday, Girls!

I am excited to share these cards with you - they were created for the most adorable twin girls in the whole world! I'm very lucky to know their family. The twins are the youngest of four beautiful children who have some amazing parents, and I get to commemorate their birthdays each year (and steal hugs!)

Because the girls are identical, for ease they've assigned a colour to each girl, so I made the cards in their own special colours.


Supplies: Paper Smooches stamps; Wplus9 banner die; Memory Box alpha die; AC Thickers "1"; Prima flowers; Wilton doilies; brads from stash


purple ink: Adirondack Purple Twilight


Pink ink: Picked Raspberry Distress Ink

The flowers were hand-dyed using a variety of Glimmer Mists. To change the sentiment (which originally read "I love you..." I masked the "I" with washi tape before inking. The 'we' is from a "welcome" stamp from another PS set. 

Since the twins are celebrating THEIR first birthday, I thought it more than appropriate to enter the Anything Goes challenge at Curtain Call celebrating THEIR first birthday :) Popping in over at Paper Smooches SPARKS as well :) 

xoxo,
Jessi

Love these, Jessi! So pretty and also funny! I am a little happy that my twin nieces aren't identical, so we can clearly see who is who, hihi. And they are also sooo cute!! Great cards!
Hugs, Wendy

How precious! I have a niece named Maggie but we call her Moo, so this stamp set really has her name all over it! LOL
