Hello friends. Happy Thursday, it is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Nancy wants us to "Layer It" on our birthday cards.
There are quite a few layers on my card. A panel of Calypso Coral is glued to the card base and then a white layer was cut with Poppystamps Cortina Pinpoint Plate and glued to the coral panel. I die cut a frame with Concord & 9th Thinking of You Perfect Pairings Die and then stamped two of the corner images from Concord & 9th Thinking of You stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with SU Calypso Coral and Old Olive Blends. I fussy cut the two images (I didn't like the holes in the leaves and flowers from the die cut) and mounted them on the corners of the frame. I added foam tape to the two large flowers and the two small flowers, then glued the frame to the card. The sentiment from Poppystamps Birthday Wishes Moonlight Script is die cut from Calypso Coral and a base layer of vellum (which is hard to see in the photo). I then added glue behind parts of the sentiment and added it to the card. I really like the finished card.
Be sure to check out all the inspiration by the team over at Seize the Birthday. I hope you will join us in this fun challenge.
I am linking to Addicted to Stamps and More - Dies and/or Stencils. I used several dies.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,

You've used the loveliest of layers, JoAnn! Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be my favorite card of yours, JoAnn. That coverplate with the color peeking through is a wonderful background for your lovely flower arrangement. Terrific card!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love how the cover die lets color peek through, and then you've colored the flowers so prettily to match. The skinny frame is just enough, and the sentiment script is lovely. It all comes together into one sweetly stunning card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring card, JoAnn. Love the coral, the frames and your pretty flowers. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have to say this in one of my recent favorites of yours, JoAnn. So well thought out and I love the colors. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteI had to take a closer look at that cover plate. It is so beautiful the way that you used it and let the color show through. The delicate flowers sprays that you used are a very nice addition to this design. Lovely die cut sentiment makes a lovely spring card.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning.

I love how you've used the cover plate and the frame die both, and then used corner flowers too. This is an especially sweet card, JoAnn!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked it with all of your beautiful layers JoAnn! I love the patterned background, the double frame and the gorgeous colours.
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a gorgeous card! I love all your layers and that sentiment die looks like cake frosting. Beautiful layout too! Thanks for having me as a Surprise Party Guest at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful JoAnn! Your layering is so cohesive so as not to look overdone. Lovely.
