Birthday Card for Color Throwdown #809

 Hello friends.  This is my last minute card for The Color Throwdown Challenge #809.

 

I had to think of how I was going to use these colors together but I like my finished card.  I used Spellbinders Teal Topaz for the flower cut with MFT Bold Blooms dies.   I cut 2 of the large flowers and layered them together, then added a Queen & Co. Gem to the center.  The leaves are cut from SU Granny Apple Green.  Memory Box Happy Birthday Pash Script die was cut from SU Highland Heather (base) and white. also the mat is Highland Heather.  The white panel is embossed with a new SU EF - Forever Plaid.  Now, I am off to link up over at The Color Throwdown.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Birthday Card for a Dear Friend

 Hello friends.  I made a birthday card for a dear friend.  I was inspired by this card I saw on Pinterest.  I love the colors and the design and this is the card I made using different dies.

I used Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber DOI for the blended panel and then embossed it with Spellbinders Argyle Plaid EF.  I lightly sanded the raised areas so the white would show.  For the flowers I used Simon Says Stamp Aurora Blooms Dies to die cut from white.  I blended the same DOI inks in the center of each flower and then layered them together.  The spiky center is from a Memory Box die set.  I shaped the flower petals and glued them to the panel and then to the card base. The leaves from the SSS set was die cut from a light green and glued under the petal edges.  The sentiment is from an older SU set die cut with a stitched rectangle die and then glued on.

I am linking my card to the Triple B Challenge

 

 

and to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

 

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

Roses for The Flower Challenge

 Hello friends.  I have a new birthday card to share today.  I made this one for The Flower Challenge where they are wanting stamped flowers.

I stamped the roses from Elizabeth Craft Designs Gratitude set in black ink and colored it with SU Lt. Pretty in Pink and Lt. Flirty Flamingo Blends, and the leaves in Granny Apple Green Blends.  I die cut the image with the matching dies.  I have had this set for quite awhile and this is the first time I have used it, I definitely will be using it more.  I mounted a lt. gray panel to the white card base and then added a trellis die cut from a retired SU set.  The sentiment is from Penny Black Super Day stamped on a die cut circle.  I mounted the roses and the sentiment with foam tape and my card was done. 

I will also link this to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time using this set. 

 

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