Happy Birthday Floral

On the Dies R Us Blog today!
 
Today I have a Birthday card to share with you!

 
 
My card uses a beautiful Happy Birthday die from PTI, but there are a couple in the Dies R Us Store that would work really well with this design. 
 

 
 
 
OR
 
             
 
I ran my white base card stock through my Big Shot using a Swiss Dots Embossing folder to add texture.  And then I cut out the center with a Die-Namics Stitched Rectangle die. 
 
Another comparable choice would be the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles
 
 
 

I layered my Happy Birthday die 3 times in black, green and white card stocks.  By adding the black on the base it POPS off of the pretty pink Designer Paper.  Plus it adds a little bit more oomph!
 


 
I really have fallen in love with this Dogwood Blossom Corner by Poppystamps.  It's so delicate and beautiful!  I cut it once from green card stock and then again in pink, snipping the blossoms off and  layering them right on to the green.  Again, adding a bit more oomph. 
 
 
Thanks for popping in!
 
Enjoy~~

  2. Such a pretty card Donna! I especially love the layering of the sentiment, (which looks like painted chipboard - fantastic!) a great tip re the black, it really makes it pop! The delicate and pretty blossom corner makes a perfect frame for it too. Great inspiration, thank you.
