Hello friends. I was inspired by two challenges for my birthday card today. Color Hues - Red & Gray and Just Us Girls - Use a Coverplate Die.
ETA: My card was the winner at Color Hues.
I used Pinkfresh Studios Sparkling Diamonds Coverplate to cut a panel of SU Smokey Slate, trimmed the edges and mounted it on a white card base. I then used foam tape to mount a white panel cut with a die from Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag set. I used Spellbinders Stylish Oval Hello You Floral dies to cut the flowers from SU Real Red and the leaves from SU Basic Gray. I inked the edges of the flowers with SU Cherry Cobbler before assembling them. For the large flower I added another layer using the smaller flower, then added the centers cut from white and Smokey Slate. I stamped the sentiment from SU Go To Greetings, fussy cut it and mounted it with foam tape and my card was done.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
