Smile - PTI Blog Hop, Card 2

I love this card from Maile Belles.  So, here is my take on it for a second blog hop card.  I know I used the same color scheme as the last one - it's the 80s girl in me. Pink & grey. :D (even better, mauve and grey!!!)

I was going to use Round Repeats; but I kept thinking about Reasons to Smile, the limited edition set from Stamp-a-Faire last year and decided to go with it. I haven't used it yet. Well, that has been remedied.  It is difficult to see the sentiment in the photo -- the sun has set and I did what I could with the lighting I have. Ugh. I need more cowbell...um, I mean light!  In hand, you can see the sentiment well.  I used one of the birthday sentiments from Reasons to Smile.

For this card, I used Autumn Rose, Smokey Shadow, Impress Provincial Grey (which is my favorite grey in the history of greys...as one of my kids says) and some accents of silver ink (not embossing).  This will be for a friend who has a birthday this month.

Happy blog hopping all!  I'm off to see more stuff. I haven't looked much since I stopped working and I need to see what all is out there!!!
