Artisan Award reject/non-winner/etc - Happy Birthday Card

another rejected entry for the Artisan Award ... now, seriously, HOW could SU NOT like this one? huh? Well, either way, I LOVE this card. I think it was my favorite out of the whole bunch, hee hee!

If I remember right, Ilina Crouse had had an Inspired Tuesday challenge for a little while and this card was inspired by that challenge. I can't really remember which challenge (the second one?) but I remember the soft tones. The blue was an interesting brightness to add, don't you think?

Anywho, thanks for stopping by my blog today! Don't forget to check out what fabulousness Julie posted this week! I'll be back next week with the next Artisan project. See you tomorrow for the Colour Q challenge!

That is a beautiful card! I agree - SU is nuts for not picking this one! I love your use of the border stamp - very cool.

All I can say is the winning entries must have been absolutely spectacular if this card didn't make the 'cut'. Totally gorgeous in every way!

Like many of us we are only too hard on ourselves. You did a great job and I would be honoured to receive this card, winner or not.

Oh la la - c'est magnifique, Renee! Another of my (many) Renee favourites .. can't quite understand the judging criteria, but it's right up MY alley. The soft colours are divine, and, as always, the whole card is put together beautifully. Hope you and Keesh are having fun :)
