Happy Birthday

I made my card for a sweet lady at church using JUGS Challenge #339 - use lavender, peach and ivory.  
I had to do some thinking on these colors and tried several things before decided on this finished card.  I CASEd myself with a card I made here.   I used SU Very Vanilla CS for the card base and the 2 main panels.  The first panel is embossed with SU Filigree Frame EF.  The next panel is cut with Creative Expressions Californian Collection-Beverly Hills die by Sue Wilson.  I stamped Verve's Happy Birthday Plain Jane in black ink.  The flowers from SU Petite Petals are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe (I tried Peach Parfait, but it looked yellow) and Wisteria Wonder inks.  I punched them out with the matching punch and sponged the edges of the petals and added ivory pearls to the centers.  The leaves from SU Peaceful Petals is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Sahara Sand CS.  After fussy cutting them out, I sponged them with Crumb Cake ink.  Both vanilla panels are mounted with foam tape for dimension.

Since this is a girlie card, I also am entering in this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
