While going through my stamps, I've been finding some awesome stamps that I've kinda' forgotten about. So I took the time to play with one set for a little while. It is a Paper Trey Ink set called Vintage Baskets. Love this set, it is so cute! Over at Darnell's blog, a blog that is a must if you love humor because Darnell surely is a funny gal! I so love going to her blog to read, so check her out-she makes great cards too! So she is having a birthday card link up for a fellow blogger. So I decided to link up my birthday card that I made. I use one of the baskets with one of the "toppers" to put in the basket from the Vintage Baskets set. I stamped it right on the card base-yes, I didn't think that one through. lol But I did and then using my Spectrum Noir markers, I colored my envies and my basket. I took another white layer and using a SB die cut out the scallop rectangle and placed it over my image. I did a little doodling around the frame and on the card base I drew lines and added some more doodle lines along with some die cut stars from My Creative Time 4x4 Journal Die & More. I stamped my top layer with a polka dot stamp from My Creative Time called Build a Banner Kit using Tim Holtz distress ink Antique Linen. Then because I colored on my base card, I had to cover the inside cover. So I stamped the same polka dots on cream colored paper with Tim Holtz distress ink Walnut Stain. My sentiments are from a Fiscars set that I picked up at JoAnn's. Just a CAS card, but I think it is so cute. I hope you like it too. IThanks so much for visiting me today. Your comments always make my day so special. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you have time to get crafty if you want to. Crafty hugs, Brenda

I love this set (always wanted it but never bought it). You've done a great job!
The basket really is a cute image and I love how you colored it, but the sentiment nailed it for me! I love that comment about old age! Ha ha!! Cute birthday card Brenda!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Phew! So glad that worked out perfectly, Brenda! At least you didn't color it first, not that I would ever do anything like that. Cough. I love that image you rediscovered and your sediments inside made me giggle out loud!! Love the polka dots, too!
Brenda, thank you so much for linking your adorable birthday basket up to the party for Anita! The lady before you in the links did the same thing and I think it is so sweet of you!
I think you might be right about the lilacs. We had an extremely dry winter and all the nut trees bloomed early. Not our nut trees, haha, like we live on an estate! Oh, I karacked myself up! I mean nut trees around here. Hugs, Darnell

I just love 'refinding' a stamp, and I would definitely love to refind this set, your card is so wonderful!
Brenda, your sweet comment (thank you so much!), brought me here where I've discovered some delightful posts and beautiful cards! This one you linked up for Anita: GORGEOUS. Your basket is ever so pretty, and the doodle frame is charming. Polka dots and the stars (I love MCT products!) are perfect special touches. As for your sentiments: oh yes!! So glad I visited; your blog is a treat!
