Floral Happy Birthday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

IIt’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.  As challenge  hostess for the month, I finish off her month with one last challenge.

Tomorrow (28thFebruary) is Floral Design Day, for our challenge this week create a card that features a flower or flowers. 

As you can see I have created a floral birthday Slimline Card using a Slimline die from Pinkfresh Studio.  I die cut the slimline die from white cardstock and then used Catherine Pooler's Chiffon ink to add color to the panel.

For the flowers I used Pinkfresh Studio's Daisy Wreath Stencil set, this is a set of 5 stencils that you use to build up the various colors to create the design. There is a coordinating die to die cut the finished stencilled piece, but as I don't have that yet I fussy cut around the inside and out side. I adhered those to my card using foam tape.

I added the birthday sentiment to the centre of each wreath using Altenew's Birthday Builder Stamp set and Honey Bee Stamps Banner Builder die set.

For the inside of the card I created a pop-up card using Lawn Fawn's Pop-up Hooray Die Set. I die cut the pop up from white cardstock and then used orange and yellow card to add the letters which were die cut using Lawn Fawn's Oliver's ABCs die set.

I die cut another of the Pinkfresh Studio Slimline Diagonal Stitched Plaid die and added yellow ink to that. I cut it down the centre and adhered this to both edges of the inside of the card.

To finish decorating the inside of my card I created another stencilled Daisy Wreath which I cut out and trimmed the two different flower bunches separately and added to the top and bottom of my card.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
