Happy Birthday for JUGS

 Hello friends.  I have a new card I made for the JUGS Challenge - copy a designer's card.
There are so many lovely cards but I was inspired by Bobby's lovely card with the flowers tucked under the strip and the embossing.

For my card I die cut several of SSS Jaunty Stem flowers from Flirty Flamingo (flowers) and Granny Apple Green (stems/leaves).  I blended Flirty Flamingo ink in the centers of the larger flowers and on the bottom of the buds.  Instead of using the single flowers, I layered two together for more fullness and liked them better.  I colored the white dotted centers with a yellow marker.  After putting the flowers together, I tucked them behind a SSS Garden Fence die cut from white and the same lt. gray as the embossed background (Spellbinders Dazzling Diamonds EF).  I mounted the flowers with foam tape and glued the stems down, then glued the fence on, and mounted to a white card base.  The sentiment is from SSS/Paper Rose Studio Stamptember 2025.  Thankful Florals stamp & die set and glued on the fence.  I really like the finished card


I will also add this to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time I have used these SSS dies and the stamp/die set,


Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
