BIRTHDAY FLOWERS

Hello and welcome to my Wednesday post. Thank you for popping by – whether you’re a first time visitor or have been by before, I am so pleased that you are here.

For this project, I combined the All Squared Away Bundle with the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders, as well as some other new products.

I started by cutting three of the four floral dies in Basic White cardstock. Then I used a Blending Brush to apply some Granny Apple Green ink across each of the squares. I adhered these three squares to the left-hand side of the Basic Black card base.

The next step was to measure the remaining space on the card front. I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock to those measurements and added texture by using the Checks embossing folder. Then I used one of the Basic Border Dies to cut card, as you can see on the image. Cutting the flower shapes to position over the top of each square was my next task. My favourite flower shape is the one I cut using Real Red cardstock.

The birthday greeting, from the All Squared Away Stamp Set, was stamped in Pumpkin Pie and cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I love knowing that I can create square shapes using the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

I have been using lengths of textured wallpaper for my photo backgrounds for a while now; but, I think it’s time I found some more professional backgrounds. Add that to my list of things to do. I hope to have something new soon.

This card is an interesting combination of curved, straight and angled lines; as well as vivid colours.

What do you think? I would love to hear from you.

Happy stamping.
