Hello friends. We have a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda has chosen No Stamping as our "Topping" option this time. Remember the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.
I had this pale green panel already embossed with Spellbinders Diamond Plaid EF and used it as the background for my flower and sentiment. The layered sentiment is from Memory Box Happy Birthday Posh Script die. The base layer is white and the top layer is cut from a new SU In-Color called Sweet Sorbet. The PTI Into the Blooms: Dahlia is also cut from Sweet Sorbet. There are 3 layers all glued together in the centers. I added the black center from another flower set. The leaves are from Memory Box Exquisite Leaf Set cut from a sage green in my stash. I clipped one of the leaves off to make it fit under the petals and glued them under the flower petals. The flower and sentiment are mounted with foam tape. I added this panel to a black mat to make it stand out better and also coordinate with the flower center.
I hope you will check out all the great cards by the team over at Seize the Birthday and join in our challenge.
I will link to Happy Little Stampers Birthday - Anything Goes
and also linking to the AAA Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes. (I am sure I linked this at AAA Birthday but couldn't find it so am linking it again).
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,

What a really pretty card JoAnn. It’s fun when you have some pieces already created and then you can put together a really beautiful card like this one. I love the soft green with the bright red.
