Happy Birthday Ardyth!



Hello there! Guess what...the fabulous Darnell was oh so sweet and organized a birthday party for the amazing Ardyth!  If you don't know Ardyth, she is an absolute gem of a blogging friend with an amazing eye for color and extreme creativity. She has an eye for graphics that never ceases to amaze me!  She has a love for CAS cards, a passion for her church, family and friends and it simply shines through in her blog each and every day.  So, when Darnell asked me to participate in a blog hop to honor Ardyth's birthday I was a very quick yes. Happy birthday Ardyth!  I hope you have an amazing day!  My card above is a nod to Ardyth's eye for color, graphic style and square card making!  Doesn't quite do her justice!



I also though it would be fun to share a challenge card for two challenges:  Festive Friday (a nod to Ardyth being on the design team) and Fusion Challenge.  I had a lot of fun using my new Lil Inker snowflake die for this card!

I love your fun, colorful, graphic card for Ardyth and am inspired by your amazing Christmas card. Those Lil' Inker snowflakes are high on my wish list. :) Beautiful. Would you mind sharing what paper pack you used on your Christmas card? I LOVE it. Thanks.

You birthday card to Ardyth is perfect; graphic and bright colors! Works well for a fun bday card! Wasn't this a fun "party" for Darnell to host!

I can't tell you how surreal it is to walk through blogland and see Ardyth cards everywhere - it's so, so fun and such a wonderful, lovely surprise! Thank you so much for joining in Lynn - I so appreciate it! And I love your FFriday card - it's rich with the traditional colours, but still light and airy! Thanks so much for playing along!

Your tribute to Ardyth card is a perfect representation of her graphic, colorful style! :)

Had to do a double take there for a minute as there was DP on your card ;) Darling mix of the tow papers and loving that big snowflake :)

Darnell said...

Oh, my, Lynn, you are so wrong when you say your card doesn't do Ardyth justice! It SO does! It is a very distinctly "Ardycard" with all the colorful triangles!
Thank you so much in joining in my birthday surprise party for her!! Mwah! Darnell

(Love the Christmas card, too! Perfect for those challenges!!)

Love those bright triangles.

Meredith MacRitchie said...

They're both awesome - I think your birthday card for Ardyth is great!! I love how you used the sketch from fusion on your FF card - that one would totally elude me, but the way you used your snowflake was perfect. Thanks for playing with us again this week!!

Jenny said...

Your card is perfectly 'Ardyth'.... She really has got a style of her own!!!
Fantastic Christmas card too, I love the homespun country colours you've used for the sketch :0)
