Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda would like us to make it CAS (clean and simple) plus dies. If you're not a "Toppings" kind of person, well...you can just go with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday! The choice is yours!
For my card I began with a panel of SU Basic Beige and embossed it with Honey Bee Burlap EF. I had these flowers cut from white with Altenew Cute Open Rose die so I thought I would use them. I blended some SU Crisp Cantaloupe ink (ret.) to the centers and shaped the petals before gluing them together. The centers are cut from Spellbinders Merlot and Sicily cardstock. I blended Rustic Wilderness DOI on scraps of white to die cut the leaves and glued them under the flower petals. The sentiment is cut from white using an older Sizzix die and glued on. I really love the finished card and will be sending it to my granddaughter as her birthday is next month.
Be sure to check out all the cards by the DT and our party guests over at Seize the Birthday. I hope to see you in our gallery.
I will also link to the Trible B Challenge - Birds, Blooms, Butterflies.
and also to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time I have used the Honey Bee EF.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
