Just Dropping You a Line

...to wish Michelle over at Stamper's Dream a very happy birthday today!I know, I know, I probably should have used a cupcake or birthday cake stamp set for Michelle's card, but this Three Dresses stamp by Serendipity Stamps was calling my name and begging to be inked up. The card base is pomegranate Bazzill with mats in black, kraft, and a layer of Memory Box Grove DP. The image is stamped on Whisper White and again on various Memory Box and Basic Grey DPs, then trimmed, and popped up on double sided adhesive foam tape. The clothespins are colored in Creamy Carmel to resemble the old wooden clothespins. I used a piece of antique copper wire over the stamped clothesline and secured it in between the prongs of an antique copper brad at each end. The inside of the card is finished as well and trimmed with a scrap piece of the Memory Box DP and a piece of Webster's Pages vintage ivory eyelet ribbon that I distressed with a bit of Ranger's Vintage Photo distress ink.
I hope Michelle has as much fun on her birthday as I did making this card. Happy Birthday, kiddo!
