Hello friends. I have a birthday card I made for the Color Hues Challenge - Orange & Slate Gray.
I used Spellbinders Club Blooms dies for my flowers and leaves. I cut the flowers from ivory cardstock and blended Pumpkin Pie ink in the centers before layering them together. I cut the leaf sprigs from SU Basic Gray and the other leaves from SU Gray Granite. Happy Birthday is cut from Gray Granite and layered on a die cut ivory shadow using Memory Box Happy Birthday Posh Script. The striped Pumpkin Pie paper is an old piece I had in my stash and I embossed it with the new SU Cross Hatch EF but it doesn't show up very well on the pattern paper. I mounted it to an ivory card base and then mounted the flowers with foam tape. I glued the leaves under the blooms and then glued the sentiment on the bottom. I really like the way it turned out.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
