Another Chick Tribe Gathering

The recent Unity Stamps 'Chick Tribe' stamp brings back so many girlfriend fun memories for me every time I see it.  Before retiring and for many years following retirement, a special group of five of us got together for our birthday's and Christmas each year.  Like many friendships, those meetings have dwindled as several of us have relocated.  However the friendships have NOT!  We all remain close friends and know we are merely a text or phone call away.

Today is one of our 'Chick Tribe' gals birthday and this is the card that I mailed to her.  The chances that it arrived on time.... well I'm just not sure.  

 But it's okay as she's one busy traveling Grandma who enjoys seeing her family at various locations.  I made this card using wild vibrant colors which also describe this birthday girl.   She lives for the Lord and loves every day of life to the fullest degree.  

I used the Penny Black Elegant Stitches Rectangle die set for the decorative edge on the completed image and on the patterned paper matting.  Then I secured both pieces to the 4" x 6" lavender top fold card base.  I added the mint organza ribbon at the fold to complete the design.

Although many birthday sentiments would have fit on this card, I elected to leave the sentiment off and allow all the focus to be on the chick tribe.  I love the girls this tribe represents to me and I'm betting you might have a few that fit this stamp also.

Treasure those friendship!  They are priceless... 

Happy Birthday Marilyn!  Have a Fabulous Day!
