Lime and Yellow Birthday

 Hello Friends.  I made a birthday card with two challenges in mind - The Flower Challenge and Color Hues.

I recently watched this video by Tina Smith that showed how she used two sizes of pierced circle dies to make a background on her card.  I thought it was neat and wanted to try it.  I didn't have the same dies she used but had Spellbinders Essential Circles dies that has solid circles and dotted circles. I used the 3 smallest of the dies and made my background panel.  While trying to decide how I wanted to decorate the panel, I saw Color Hues challenge today and decided to go with yellow flowers and lime leaves.  I used a piece of Bristol Smooth 100# card and blended Mustard Seed DOI on it to die cut the flowers from Spellbinders Floral Spray.  I also cut some buds using Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms.  The Lime Green card is from a Recollections pack from Michaels. I cut a panel to back the white panel and also cut the leaves and flower stems from it.  I already had several of the Birthday Wishes white embossed sentiments so used one of them on my card.  I really like the finished card.

and to The Flower Challenge -  Add Circles.  It is also their 100th challenge and there are prizes.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
