Yes, time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! If you haven't played before, you will have to consider it for next month. Every release part, Nichole posts a Blog Hop challenge on the Papertrey Ink site. We prepare our cards and post on the 25th of the month! And then, we spend the evening hopping around on everyone else's blog to see what they made. You can check HERE for others who are blog hopping tonight.
Okay, on to my card. Tonight, we were asked to 
make a birthday card. It might sound easy...but I've got to tell you, I find it even easier to do a challenge when there are more limitations or guidelines to follow. But, I did my best and came up with this card.

I decided that I wanted to use some sets that I've been neglecting! So I pulled out my First Fruits set and used that awesome design strip. I stamped it in Aqua Mist onto some Select White paper. Then, I added a piece of Aqua Mist satin ribbon. For those of you who hate to tie bows...I hear you becasue I used to feel the same way. But I've descovered that the best way to get better is to actually do it!! HERE and HERE are some great video's that I've watched over and over to help out! Those ladies really know what they are doing!!
Next, I used this 'in flight' bird with Chocolate Chip ink and cut it out. On a piece of Kraft cardstock, I drew a flight line with a pencil, did some piercing, and then erased the pencil line. Then I added the bird using some dimensionals. I added a sentiment (inside reads...that it is your birthday) as well using more Chocolate Chip ink.

Great job, Donelda~ great idea to use neglected stamps, lol!

That's really a pretty card. I love how you made your own paper with that First Fruits stamp---I wouldn't have thought to do that in that color----great idea!
Nice! Love your color combination and the patterned paper you created.
Very nice ;)
This is really lovely!
Beautiful card. We have both used the same set and same color combination. I really liked the way you have traced the birds flight path. very very pretty.
I have been very tempted to get that Birds of a Feather set - and your card is helping:) BTW...I also pierced on my card tonight! I think this was my first time, but I'll be sure to try it again with this bird set!
Very pretty but I don't think your links are working to the bow tying!
The kraft/chocolate chip/aqua mist color combo is awesome, Donelda!
Gorgeous Donelda - love the piercing detail.
Love the color, nice clean card. :) Kel
